What The octet rule is satisfied when two atoms acquire how many valence electrons?
Eight
What are two atoms that comply with the octet rule?
Any atoms in groups 1-3 will bond ionically by giving up its outer shell electrons and becoming a cation. Atoms in groups 15-17 will receive these electrons and become anions. Noble gasses already have a complete outer shell, and semi-conductors/metalloids are usually reluctant to become ions.
How many electrons must the atoms of S share with other atoms in covalent bonding to achieve an octet of electrons?
two electrons
How many electron are required for water to complete its octet structure?
Water is a molecule made of three atoms (one oxygen and two hydrogen) and the concept of the electron octet applies to atoms, not to molecules. Oxygen, with six valance electrons, can acquire an octet by sharing the electrons of two hydrogen atoms, each of which have one electron. So the water molecule is self contained, it does not need any more electrons.
Does SeO2F2 GaCl3 and ONF3 contain atoms with expanded octet?
Yes, SeO2F2 and ONF3 contain atoms with expanded octets. In SeO2F2, the selenium atom has 12 electrons around it, exceeding the octet. In ONF3, the nitrogen atom has 10 electrons around it, also exceeding the octet. However, GaCl3 does not have any atoms with expanded octets as gallium follows the octet rule.
Is it impossible to satisfy the octet rule for XeF2?
No, it is possible to satisfy the octet rule for XeF2. Xenon has eight electrons in its outer shell (octet) by sharing two electrons with each of the two fluorine atoms in the molecule, resulting in a stable electron configuration.
Draw an atomic representation for MgCl2 on octet rule?
In the atomic representation of MgCl2 according to the octet rule, magnesium (Mg) will have two dots or one dash symbolizing a bond with each of the chlorine (Cl) atoms, to complete its octet. The chlorine atoms will each have seven dots or one dash symbolizing a bond with magnesium, to complete their octet.
In a Lewis dot structure the electrons which complete an octet but are not located between two atoms are referred to as?
In a Lewis dot structure, the electrons which complete an octet but are not located between two atoms are referred to as lone pair electrons. These electrons are not involved in bonding with other atoms and are typically found on the central atom of the molecule.
When two different types of atoms share electrons to complete an octet what type of bond is formed?
covalent - which means "sharing of valence electrons"
How could oxygen achieve a stable octet?
Yes. The octet rule is a rule of thumb that states that atoms tend for form bonds that allow the bonded atoms to have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is a "driving force" in chemistry, and it explains many, many reactions. Use the link below to gather more information.
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
How many bonds does oxygen atoms always have?
Oxygen atoms always have two covalent bonds. This allows them to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, following the octet rule.
