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.

Does the CS2 are obeys the octet rule?
Yes, CS2 Obeys the Octet rule. C double bonds with both Sulfur atoms and then each S has two pair of free electrons.
The tendency of atoms in stable molecules to have eight electrons in their outermost shells is know as the?
The tendency of some atoms to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell (two e- in the S orbital and six e- in the P orbital) is called the "octet rule."
Why octet rule is not obeyed in the formation of h2 molecule?
hydrogen atoms have only one shell( K-shell) which can accommodate only two electrons. Therefore each hydrogen atom in hydrogen moleculecontributes one electron forming a pair which is shared between the two atoms. Thus in hydrogen molecule duplet rule is followed and not the octet rule.
What is the duet rule?
OCTET RULE:-The tendency of atoms to require eigth electron configuration in their valence shell, when bonding,is called octet rule.DUPLET RULE:-The tendency of atoms to require two electron configuration in their valence shell, when bonding,is called duplet rule
If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?
Covalent.
What The octet rule is satisfied when two atoms acquire how many valence electrons?
Eight

Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
What two atoms have octet?
CArbon and Oxygen
What happens during convalent bonding?
#In covalent bondig electrons are shared by atoms. A bond is made up of two shared electrons of opposite spin.Many molecules contain atoms that obey the octet rule where the y share enough electrons to acheive an octet. Hydrogen is different it follows the duet rule, just shares two electrons. (achieving the octet or duet means that an atom has a similar electronic configuration to a noble gas)
What kind of change is between ionic and covalent bonds?
Ionic Bonds are when electrons are exchanged to satisfy the octet of each element reacting. Covalent Bonds are when two atoms SHARE their electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
What is the significance of the octet rule in the study of chemistry?
The octet rule in the study of chemistry states that atoms combine in such a way as they each have eight electrons in their valance. The electrons shared by two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice.
Does lithium follow the octet rule?
Sort of. Lithium loses one electron in order to achieve the noble gas configuration of helium, which has only two valence electrons in its 1s sublevel. The octet rule refers to the fact that atoms share or transfer electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration with eight valence electrons, called an octet. Helium is an exception to the rule.
If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?
Covalent.
