What else can I help you with?
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?
More stable
Why do atom combine?
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
What does the octet rule say about atoms losing and gaining electrons?
More than 4 gain. Less than 4 lose and exactly 4 share
Can atoms have an expanded octet?
Yes, atoms beyond the second period in the periodic table can have an expanded octet, allowing them to hold more than eight electrons in their outer shell.
When two or more atoms combine they create what?
Two or more atoms combine to form a molecule.
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
Does the presence of an octet makes an atom very likely to react with other elements?
Yes, atoms with an octet are stable and less likely to react with other elements because they have a full outer shell. Octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, making them more stable.
Are Atoms which possess completed outer energy level or have a stable octet are inert?
Atoms with a complete outer energy level or stable octet are more stable and less likely to react with other atoms. Inert gases like helium, neon, and argon have full outer energy levels and do not readily react with other elements, making them chemically stable.
What is created when two or more atoms combine?
molecules
Which statements about the octet rule is are true?
The bolded statements are true:1. The octet rule can be violated. 2. Atoms are most stable when their atomic number is divisible by 8.3. All free atoms contribute eight valence electrons to form molecules.4. Only the oxygen atom can have an expandable octet.5. In order to obey the octet rule, some atoms have to share more than one pair of electrons.
When atoms of more than element combine they form?
a compound.
