What else can I help you with?
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.
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
What is the statement that when atoms combine to form molecules they general lose or gain or sharevalence electrons until they attain or share eight?
This statement is known as the octet rule. It states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they either gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons (octet) to attain stability.
What law state that in forming compounds atoms tend to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas?
It is called the octet rule.
What do atoms tend to achieve or "yearn for" in their outer shell?
Atoms tend to achieve stability by filling their outer shell with electrons, typically aiming for a full set of eight electrons, known as the octet rule.
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
How could oxygen achieve a stable octet?
Yes. The octet rule is a rule of thumb that states that atoms tend for form bonds that allow the bonded atoms to have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is a "driving force" in chemistry, and it explains many, many reactions. Use the link below to gather more information.
What are two atoms that comply with the octet rule?
Any atoms in groups 1-3 will bond ionically by giving up its outer shell electrons and becoming a cation. Atoms in groups 15-17 will receive these electrons and become anions. Noble gasses already have a complete outer shell, and semi-conductors/metalloids are usually reluctant to become ions.
How many bonds does oxygen atoms always have?
Oxygen atoms always have two covalent bonds. This allows them to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, following the octet rule.
The tendency of atoms in stable molecules to have eight electrons in their outermost shells is know as the?
octet rule. This rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration with eight electrons in their outermost energy level, similar to the noble gases.
What rule states that atoms react so as to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas?
The octet rule states that atoms tend to react in a way that they achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. This rule is based on the tendency of atoms to stabilize their outer electron shell by attaining a full outer shell with 8 electrons.
Does SF2 obey octet rule?
No, SF6 doesn't. If you draw out the Lewis structure, all 6 fluorine atoms have to connect to the sulfur.
