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.

Please predict how many covalent bond oxygen will make to satisfy the octet rule?
It makes two covalent bonds which completes its octet.
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.
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.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Is it impossible to satisfy the octet rule for XeF2?
yes
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Sodium would LOSE 1 electron to satisfy the octet rule.
A molecule with bonding that follow the octet rule?
Boron And Berylium
How many electrons does fluorine need to satisfy the octet rule?
One
How many covalent bonds are formed with boron?
Boron will form the covalent bonds based on the octet rule.
The two Lewis structure for ozone satisfy the octet rule and are resonance structures?
true
How many electrons does strontium lose to satisfy the octet rule?
Strontium is part of Group IIA, which means it loses 2 valence electrons to satisfy the rule. Sr2+.
What rule is used to determine how many covalent bonds an element can form?
The number of Covalent Bonds is equal to eight minus the group number.
