What is Hypervalent species or compounds?

The compounds or ions which doesn't follow octet rule inspire of that contains more than eight electrons and also stable called Hypervalent species.

For examples XeFe₂(10e), XeFe₄(12e), SF₄(10e), SFe₆(12e), IFe₇(14e), I₂Cl₆(10e), TeF₅(12e) etc

Hypervalent species may act as Lewis acid but not always.

Structure of P4O6 and P4O10

Normal Oxides:

The Oxides in which oxidation state of central atom is found to be one of the it's common oxidation state. The are also called acid anhydrides because on dissolving them  into water oxygen acid is formed in which oxidation state of central atom is found to be same as present in Oxide.

Examples:  B₂O₃, CO₂, N₂O₃, N₂O₅, SO₂, SO₃, Cl₂O₇, XeO₃, XeO₄ etc.

Peroxides

The oxides in which  calculated oxidation state of central atom is more than maximum oxidation state of central atom due to the presence of peroxide linkage.

For examples, H₂O₂, Na₂O₂, BaO₂, PbO₂, CrO₅ etc.

Suboxides:

The oxides contains more oxygen atoms as compare to central atoms and according to valency requirements of central atoms number of oxygen atoms are not sufficient.

For examples B₂O₃, C₃O₂, C₁₂O₉, Pb₃O, Rb₉O₂, Cs₁₁O₃ etc.
