Octet rule refers to the tendency of formations of noble gases to appear with the addition of eight protons - electrons in arranging elements in a table. The first noble gas being Helium => addition of eight protons => 2 electrons in a S orbital & 6 electrons in P orbitals.

Why does the octet rule not always refer to a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons?
The octet rule does not apply to transition and inner transition metals and to the first for or five elements in the periodic table.
What does the rule of 8 mean for the periodic table?
Atoms with 8 valence electrons (or obeying octet rule) have more stability and are generally chemically inert.
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.

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.
How does the full octet affect trends among the noble gases?
A full octet makes the noble gases nonreactive.
