How many what elements can for compounds with expanded octet....I O Cl Xe...?

Elements in the third period or beyond (Si and beyond) in the periodic table can form compounds with expanded octets. This includes elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and xenon. These elements can often exceed the octet rule by forming more than 8 electrons in their valence shell in some compounds.


Are the elements that make up a compound joined in a fixed proportion?

This is an old rule (Law of definite proportions) not valid for nonstoichiometric compounds.


Why elements and all compound exist as molecules?

Elements can exist as molecules when they combine with other elements to form compounds due to the sharing or transfer of electrons, creating stable structures. These molecules are held together by chemical bonds, which can be covalent, ionic, or metallic, depending on the types of elements involved. The formation of molecules allows the elements to achieve a more stable configuration, following the octet rule and minimizing their energy state.


Substance that is the exception to the rule of expansion and contraction?

Water is the substance that is an exception to this rule. Although most other substance follow this rule, the hydrogen bond in water is the characteristic associated with this exception.


How does neon obey the octet rule when reacting to form ionic compounds?

Neon does not typically form ionic compounds because it already has a full valence shell with 8 electrons, satisfying the octet rule. Its electron configuration (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6) makes it very stable and unreactive with other elements.

What group of elements satisfies the octect rule without forming compounds?

Noble gases satisfy the octet rule without forming compounds because they already have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive.


Should boron be capitalized?

Yes, it should be capitalized. Capitalization of elements and compounds are a general rule.


What indentifies an organic compound from other compounds?

Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. They also often contain other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus. Additionally, organic compounds are usually derived from living organisms or once-living materials.


What type of elements do covalent bonds form between?

Rule of thumb answer is covalent bonds form between non metal elements.
