What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
What does it mean if an elements has 8 valence electrons?
it has a full octet
How many valence electrons in kypton?
Krypton has 8 valence electrons that is 4s2 4p6.it is chemically inert since it attains an octet configuration.
Law of octet?
The chemical elements tend to have 8 electrons in the valence shell.
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.
How many Valence electrons in a stable octet?
8 valence electrons
Which families contains a full octet of valence electrons?
These are the noble gases.
Why would a hydrogen attach to chlorine?
Hydrogen has one valence electron. To form a compound, it must follow the octet rule, which states that the total outermost orbital (valence) contains eight electrons. The Chlorine atom contains seven valence electrons. H(1) + Cl(7) = 8 (follows the octet rule)
What is the octet electrons?

What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
What does it mean if an elements has 8 valence electrons?
it has a full octet
What do metallic atoms produce when they lose their valence electrons?
An octet
What do you mean by octet and duplet?
In chemistry, the octet and duplet rules are part of electronic configuration. The octet rule is when the outermost shell has 8 valence electrons. The duplet rule is when the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons, e.g. Helium and Hydrogen.
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.
What is a representative element with eight electrons in its valence shells is called?
Octet
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same?
the same number of electrons needed to fill their octet, the same number of valence electrons,
