The "octect" rule is mainly about the amount of levels within each electron shell in an atom. For example, the first can contain up to 2, and the second up to 8.

How many electrons does barium lose to become a stable octect?
Two electrons.
How does a full octect affect trends among noble gases?
A full octet makes the noble gases nonreactive.
How do covalent bonds and ionic bonds compare?
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Do noble gases have a full octet of electrons?
If by octect you mean the outermost shell, then yes.. that's why they're noble gasses (inert)
Which elements can combine with boron to form octect?
Boron cannot make simple compounds with a filled octet. Though it forms complex ions such as BF4- , BCl4- where it completes the octet.
What is octet-rule violation?
It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell. It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell.
Does NH3 follow octect rule?
Of course it does obey.There are 8 electrons around Nitrogen.
Does AmH3 obeys the octect rule?
No, Transition metals do not obey the octet rule in simple compounds , Am is an 'f' block transition metal.
The octect rule states that in chemical compounds atoms tend to have?
the electron configuration of a noble gas
Which of the elements is stable?
a stable element is an element which have been able to complet its octect rule, i.e the electron of its outermost shell is complet, this is what is called a stable element
What are the trivalent elements?
For example, if Nitrogen has the electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p3; its trivalent because it needs 3 more electrons to complete its octect rule.
What group of elements satisfies the octect rule without forming compounds?
The noble or inert gases.
How are ionic bonds and covalent bonds solve the problem of achieving stability in atoms?
according to octect rule , an atom need to complete the octect to attain stability . The atoms forms ionicbond by donate or accept electrons . And also atoms forms covalent bond by shearing oe electron . The two types bonds are help to attain stability
What does the outer shell of electrons of an atom tell you?
The electrons on the outermost shell of an atom tell you how many valence electrons an atom on the periodic table has , and this number can be used to apply to the octect rule .
Why is the longest octect in an internet address 255?
11111111=255
What is octet in networking?
An octect is a byte with exactly 8 bits.
Why most compound of carbon are covalent?
Carbon has four valence electrons in its outermost orbit which indicate it need four further electrons to complete its valence according to octect rule. It is also not possible for Carbon to remove all of its four valence electrons for the same cause of obeying octect rule. Hence the only option left for carbon is make covalent bonds with another carbon or any other element whose electrons are available for making a covalent bond. That's why most of the compounds of carbon are covalent.
