The octet rule is when an atom/element has a complete valence electron shell. Group 18 (the noble gases) always follows the octet rule, and sometimes certain ions of elements can follow the octet rule.
The Octet Rule says that atoms will usually gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a total of 8 electrons in their outer shell. An exception to this rule are free radicals
For example, chlorine (Cl) is from Group VII and has 7 valence electrons. It will gain one electron (eg from sodium which loses one electron to form Na+) to form Cl-, which has 8 valence electrons and so fulfills the octet rule and is stable.
H20 (water)
2 hytrogen atoms have a total of 2 electrons, an Oxygen atom contain one electron. so they go through covalent bond to get the total of 8 electrons for oxygen
It does follow the octet rule!
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
The octet rule.
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
It does follow the octet rule!
Na atom ion has an electronic configuration 2,8,1 On losing one electron it forms Na+ cation, with the configuration of 2,8 thereby obeying octet rule.
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
There are a number of characteristic forms of Octet Rules. These rules for example indicate that sets of 8 must be completed at a time.
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
no it does not follow octet rule
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
The octet 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
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
