You probably mean the octet rule, which states that atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to achieve an octet (8) of electrons in their valence shell. This makes them stable. All of the main group elements follow this rule, except for hydrogen. It is stable with two valence electrons. The main group elements are Groups 1, 2, and 13-18.

What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
How is the valence shell of hydrogen in hydrogen compounds different from the valence shell of other atoms when they form bonds?
The "valence shell" of hydrogen contains only one electron. (This configuration is indicated as 1s1). Therefore, when it looses that electron, it is only a lone proton. This is highly important in acid/base reactions. Hydrogen, H, (and helium, He) does not follow the "octet rule" when forming bonds with other elements. Rather they both follow a special rule, sometimes called the "duet rule." While most elements want to have 8 valence electrons, H and He only want a total of 2.
What is octet rule and give two examples which do not follow this rule?
The octet rule is a rule in chemistry where elements want to form bonds to attain 8 electrons in their valence shell. An example of this would be sodium chloride. Bonds that don't have 8 electrons in their valence shell don't follow this rule
Which element is the exception to the rule that the number of electrons equals the atomic number?
Helium
What two atoms follow the duet rule in filling up their valence shells of electrons?
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
How do you get disquallafied?
If you don't follow the rule most likely stated in the registration or sign up sheet, you will probably be disqualified.
Explain why united kingdom follow the rule of law?
yes they do follow the rule of law.
What is the relationship of a domain and a function?
A function is a rule that assigns a single value to each element in a domain.A function is a rule that assigns a single value to each element in a domain.A function is a rule that assigns a single value to each element in a domain.A function is a rule that assigns a single value to each element in a domain.
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
What is a definition for rule in math?
the definition of rule in math is what step you need to answer a question. what should you do to answer a problem.....you have to follow the rule to able to answer a problem..for example :-to find the area of a circle. you have to follow the formula of the circle . which is A= radius square pi. if u follow the rule your answer will be correct.....
What is an exception to the octet rule?
Yes. Hydrogen follows the duet rule, and boron and a few other elements are exceptions. Also, the noble gases can have expanded valence levels with more than eight electrons, though they only bond under certain conditions.
Explain why hydrogen is unique?
Hydrogen is different because it is the only element to not contain a neutron. It also does not follow the octet rule, and can be"happy" with two electrons like Helium. I hope that covers it!
