Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
Fluorine need one electron. It needs one electron to complete its octet.
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and it needs 3 more electrons to complete its octet and achieve stability.
Fluorine needs one more electron to have a stable octet, as it has 7 valence electrons and stable octet configuration is achieved with 8 electrons.
An atom of oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons in order to complete its outermost energy level and achieve a stable octet configuration. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell and it can reach a total of 8 electrons, following the octet rule.
yes PCl3 obey octet rule there are 5 electrons in the valence shell of phosphorous it need 3 electron to complete its octet so it form bond with 3 chlorine after bond formation there are 8 electron in its octet it obey octet rule
Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to reach an octet, as it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell and requires a total of 8 electrons to have a stable octet configuration.
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
Water is a molecule made of three atoms (one oxygen and two hydrogen) and the concept of the electron octet applies to atoms, not to molecules. Oxygen, with six valance electrons, can acquire an octet by sharing the electrons of two hydrogen atoms, each of which have one electron. So the water molecule is self contained, it does not need any more electrons.
The halogens are the most reactive non-metals. They need only 1 additional electron to complete their octet.
Silicon, like carbon, has four valance electrons, and needs another four to have a stable octet.
