Phosphorus will electrons to complete its octet changing it into a(n) .?
Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
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).
How do metals obey the Lewis octet rule?
The elements can be described by dot structure. Metals combine with other elements to make its octet complete.
What is it called when a chlorine accepts an electron to complete its octet?
a covalent bond
Why does carbon does not gain or loose 4 electron to complete its octet?
by sharing its electrons
How many electrons are in a complete octet why is having a complete octet important?
eight. it is important to obtain octet so that elements become stable.
Phosphorus will electrons to complete its octet changing it into a(n) .?
Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
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 elcetrons are need to complete an octet?
8
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.

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).

What is it called when a chlorine accepts an electron to complete its octet?
a covalent bond
Does PCl2F3 follow 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
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 electrons must a chlorine atom gain to complete its octet?
One.
