A molecule or ion is:

  • Hypervalent: When the central atom has more electrons in its valence shell than an octet (e.g., PF5, SF6).
  • Hypovalent: When the central atom has fewer electrons in its valence shell than an octet (e.g., BF3, BeCl2).
  • A species that is neither hypervalent nor hypovalent has exactly 8 electrons in its valence shell, following the octet rule strictly (e.g., CH4, NH3, H2O).
