The octet rule states that:
- Each atom in a chemical compound gains, looses, or shares electrons to form octet (8) electrons in their highest occupied energy level.
- They completely fill up the s and p orbitals.
- Also in a covalent bond, it achieves a more stable noble gas configuration.

∙ 12y agoThe octet rules states that every atom in a molecule try to get eight electrons in their valence shell.If they don't have eight electrons then they try to attend that valency by either sharing or transferring of electrons.

How many does the atoms electrons in their outer shells does the Octet Rule state they need?
8 electrons and yes, the Octet rule states this
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
What are 3 atoms are exceptions to the octet rule?
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
How many does the atoms electrons in their outer shells does the Octet Rule state they need?
8 electrons and yes, the Octet rule states this
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Give example of octet rule?
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
What are 3 atoms are exceptions to the octet rule?
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
What is significant of octet rule?
The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
Which of the atoms don't always obey the octet rule H O Br?
Chlorine Cl : it can have a higher valence (ClO2, HClO3) than predicted by the octet rule. Hydrogen H and oxygen O cannot escape the octet rule.
Does PCl2F3 follow the octet rule?
yes PCl3 obey octet rule there are 5 electrons in the valence shell of phosphorous it need 3 electron to complete its octet so it form bond with 3 chlorine after bond formation there are 8 electron in its octet it obey octet rule
