Although it was a slow process involving numerous years of research and chemists, in 1919 Irving Langmuir refined the concept into the cubical octet atom and octet theory. This octet theory evolved into what is now known as the octet rule.

∙ 15y agoIn 1904 Richard Abegg formulated what is now known as Abegg's rule, which states that the difference between the maximum positive and negative valences of an element is frequently eight. This rule was used later in 1916 when Gilbert N. Lewis formulated the "octet rule" in his cubical atom theory.

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.
Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
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
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
