The bolded statements are true:
1. The octet rule can be violated.
2. Atoms are most stable when their atomic number is divisible by 8.
3. All free atoms contribute eight valence electrons to form molecules.
4. Only the oxygen atom can have an expandable octet.
5. In order to obey the octet rule, some atoms have to share more than one pair of electrons.
