The octet rule states that all elements form ions to reach 8 valance electrons, or the nearest noble gas. If an element is a noble gas, it already has 8 valance electrons, therefore does not need to form ions to bond with other ions, thus becoming un-reactive.

In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
Which of the atoms don't always obey the octet rule H O Br?
Chlorine Cl : it can have a higher valence (ClO2, HClO3) than predicted by the octet rule. Hydrogen H and oxygen O cannot escape the octet rule.
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
Is water an exception to the octet rule?
It is one of many, many exceptions to the octet rule. Hydrogen does NOT require 8 electrons.
When was the octet rule invented?
Although it was a slow process involving numerous years of research and chemists, in 1919 Irving Langmuir refined the concept into the cubical octet atom and octet theory. This octet theory evolved into what is now known as the octet rule.
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Representative element form bonds until they have eight electron in their valance shell this is called the rule?
octet
Give example of octet rule?
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
How many covalent bonds would the element tellurium be expected to form in order to obey the octet rule?
2
What are 3 atoms are exceptions to the octet rule?
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
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.
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
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.
Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
