Does ClF5 obey octet rule?
Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.
Why is BF3 considered as an acid?
Lewis defined an acid as an electron pair acceptor. BF3 is a compound where boron does not have an octet of electrons in the outer energy level, so it can readily accept electrons.
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
What is the Lewis dot gram for SCl6?
Sulfur (S) would be the central atom, and it will have 6 Cl bonded to it by single bonds. Each Cl will have 3 lone pairs of electrons around them. S will have 12 electrons but it can have an expanded octet, and doesn't have to have 8 electrons.
Does ClF5 obey octet rule?
Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.
What is the octet electrons?
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
Do metals gain electrons to have full octet?
No, metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full octet.
Phosphorus will electrons to complete its octet changing it into a(n) .?
Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
What elements can form compomds with an expanded octet?
Elements which have d-orbitals (i. e. n=3 or higher) can form compounds with an expanded octet. Some examples are;Phosphorous Pentachloride PCl5Sulfur Hexafluoride SF6Dichloro Heptoxide Cl2O7
If an element has an octet of electrons in its highest energy level there are how many electrons in this level?
8: that's the meaning of "octet".
How the compound form from element with six proton number and 17 proton number?
The element whose atomic, and therefore proton number, of 6 is Carbon (C) and of 17 is Chlorine (Cl). Carbon has a valence of 4 electrons meaning it needs to 'take in' four more electrons to fill its octet (and thus follow the octet rule). The chlorine has a valence of 7 electrons and therefore it only needs 1 electron to fill its octet. Through a covalent bond, where the electrons are 'shared' between the molecules, 4 Cl and 1 C can bond to form the compound CCl4. All of the elements have a full octet and form a tetrahedrally shaped molecule.

Atoms react to achieve four electons in outer shell?
Well according to the octet rule the a compound must have 8 valance electrons to be stable.
What is the valency of tetrachloride?
i think 4 is the valency of tetrachloride
