Electrons are shared- giving each atom a share of 8 electrons. Note that this "rule" does not work for hydrogen as only two electrons need to be shared to give each H atom the electronic configuration of He, helium.
What else can I help you with?
Please predict how many covalent bond oxygen will make to satisfy the octet rule?
It makes two covalent bonds which completes its octet.
A molecule with bonding that follow the octet rule?
An example of a molecule that follows the octet rule is methane (CH4). In methane, carbon forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen, allowing each atom to achieve a full outer shell of electrons (octet) and satisfy the octet rule.
What kind of change is between ionic and covalent bonds?
Ionic Bonds are when electrons are exchanged to satisfy the octet of each element reacting. Covalent Bonds are when two atoms SHARE their electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Is CH4 a covelant or ionic Bond?
CH4 is a covalent compound.It is non polar
How many covalent bonds soes germanium form to satisfy the octet rule?
You can see this happen in the F2 molecule. Each fluorine atom shares a valence electron with the other fluorine atom. So there is just one covalent bond.
Why is sugar covalent?
Sugar (sucrose) is covalent because it is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms which form covalent bonds within the molecule. Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms which allows the atoms to satisfy the octet rule and form a stable molecule.
Can sulfur exceed the octet rule in chemical bonding?
Yes, sulfur can exceed the octet rule in chemical bonding by expanding its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons.
Which doesn't violate the octet rule sf4 krf2 cf4 xef4 icl4-?
CF4 and XeF4 do not violate the octet rule. In CF4, carbon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine, fulfilling the octet rule. In XeF4, xenon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine and has two lone pairs, also satisfying the octet rule.
Is it impossible to satisfy the octet rule for XeF2?
No, it is possible to satisfy the octet rule for XeF2. Xenon has eight electrons in its outer shell (octet) by sharing two electrons with each of the two fluorine atoms in the molecule, resulting in a stable electron configuration.
Does PO4 negative three charge 3 obey the octet rule?
The oxygen atoms in the ion do obey the octet rule. The phosphorus atom has more than eight electrons in its valence shell. It is because of the existence of vacant 3d orbitals.
How is the octet rule used in covalent bonding?
look for it on the chemistry book, and don't be lazy!Covalent bonding is all about "sharing electrons" so the two elements share electrons (which forms a covalent bond) in order to complete or help complete their octet.
