Write the number of electrons in the outermost shell of Sodium

According to Octet Rule, each atom gains or loses electrons to complete its outermost shell. As a result, molecules are formed. Each contributing element has 8 electrons in the outermost shell, but there are some limitations to this rule in which central atom of some molecules has more han 8 electrons. Some molecules like NO and NO_(2) don't satisfy octet rule as they have odd electrons in them. On the basis of above paragraph, answer the following : (i) Writer the Lewis structurre of N_(2) molecule. (ii) How the structure of SF_(6) cannot be explained on the basis of octet rule ?
