Phosphorus will electrons to complete its octet changing it into a(n) .?
Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
What does it do to complete the octet?
It is necessary to gain/lose electrons.
What family has complete octet of valence electrons?
Noble gasses have the complete octet of valence electrons. The are in the family 18 of the periodic table. They are unlikely to react with other elements.
Why are what octet's rule?
Octet Rule: In order for atoms to become more stable, they will take electrons, lose electrons, or share electrons so that their outer shell/level will contain eight electrons and be complete.
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
if it is a noble gas it already has an octet, otherwise, it would need to gain or use electrons to complete an octet and would no longer be neutral or unbounded.
How many electrons must a chlorine atom gain to complete its octet?
One.
How does the carbon atom complete its octet?
it forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons
Why does carbon does not gain or loose 4 electron to complete its octet?
by sharing its electrons
How many valance electrons does the oxygen have?
six valence electrons.....It only requires two more to complete octet....
How do you form ionic bonds between lithium and nitrogen?
Li3N because Lithium will give 3 electrons to complete Nitrogen's octet as N has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and needs 3 more to complete it's octet.
Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
What is the octet rule in terms of lewis structures?
Octet rule states that each electron wants to complete its octet ( 8 electrons in the outermost shell) or a duplet (in case of hydrogen and helium).
