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

What two atoms follow the duet rule in filling up their valence shells of electrons?

Hydrogen and helium follow the duet rule, which means they strive to have a full valence shell with two electrons. Hydrogen can achieve this by gaining one electron, while helium already has a full valence shell with two electrons.


How are the duet and octet rules used to describe the arrangement of electrons in a molecule?

The very simple duet and octet models of covalent chemical bonding describe the chemical bond as involving an electron pair situated between atoms and that atoms lighter than He (there is only H!) achieve a stable duet (2 electrons)-- atoms heavier than He achieve an octet. the duet and octet are the stable configurations of noble gases. Lewis dot diagrams are typically used to "place" the electrons in the appropriate positions.


The oxidation number is the blank to comply with the octet rule?

The oxidation number is the charge assigned to an atom to comply with the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with eight electrons in their outermost shell (except for hydrogen and helium, which follow the duet rule).


Does BeH2 violate the octet rule?

The octet rule only applies to elements that are heavy enough to have reached the second shell of electrons. In the first shell, the octet rule does not apply because the first shell is completed with only two electrons, not eight. So no, the octet rule does not apply to beryllium hydride.


What is Lewis octet rule?

idk okay so 1st add 2 -3 /4
