The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
no it does not follow octet rule
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
NH3 is not an exception to the octet rule. Nitrogen (N) in NH3 has a total of 8 valence electrons (5 from nitrogen and 3 from hydrogen), fulfilling the octet rule. Nitrogen has 3 bonded pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons, following the octet rule.
Hydrogen is the atom that doesn't always obey the octet rule. It only needs 2 electrons to have a full outer shell, rather than the 8 electrons typically required by the octet rule. Oxygen and bromine usually follow the octet rule.
Yes, iodine can exceed the octet rule and have an expanded octet due to its ability to accommodate more than eight electrons in its valence shell.
octet rule
CF4 and XeF4 do not violate the octet rule. In CF4, carbon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine, fulfilling the octet rule. In XeF4, xenon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine and has two lone pairs, also satisfying the octet rule.
The octet rule only applies to elements that are heavy enough to have reached the second shell of electrons. In the first shell, the octet rule does not apply because the first shell is completed with only two electrons, not eight. So no, the octet rule does not apply to beryllium hydride.
Yes, both Cu+ and Cu2+ violate the octet rule. Copper (Cu) is an exception to the octet rule due to its electron configuration, which allows it to have a partially filled d orbital. This leads to Cu forming compounds where it does not achieve a full octet of electrons.
It is one of many, many exceptions to the octet rule. Hydrogen does NOT require 8 electrons.
