The chlorine atom is in group 17 of the Periodic Table of elements, so it has 10 inner electrons and 7 outer "valence" electrons. In forming the chloride ion, it becomes negatively charged by gaining an additional electron in the outer shell, so the valence electron shell now has 8 electrons, as per the octet rule.
Na atom ion has an electronic configuration 2,8,1 On losing one electron it forms Na+ cation, with the configuration of 2,8 thereby obeying octet rule.
I know for sure BBr# & PF5 do not obey the octet rule, but i can't remember the rule of isotopes so I can't say for sure whether or not CO3 -2 obeys it or not.
Hydrogen is different because it is the only element to not contain a neutron. It also does not follow the octet rule, and can be"happy" with two electrons like Helium. I hope that covers it!
Flourins has 2s2 and 2p5 configuration and total 9 electrons in outermost shell. There are two possibilities for fluorine i.e. either to complete the outermost shell or to follow the octet rule. If it follow the octet rule there will remain 4 electrons in 2p. Hence its reactivity towards metals or other compounds will differ which is against its nature.Thats why flourine shows restrictions towards octet rule
Neon obeys the octet rule by not reacting and not forming ionic compounds as it already has a stable outer shell of eight electrons.
Na atom ion has an electronic configuration 2,8,1 On losing one electron it forms Na+ cation, with the configuration of 2,8 thereby obeying octet rule.
The octet rule is the tendency to have eight electrons in the shell after ion or bond formation.. This gives the same configuration as a noble gas.
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
BCl3 is the formula for Boron Chloride. As a matter of interest it does not obey the octet rule. It is also called a Lewis Acid.
The octet rule is a rule in chemistry where elements want to form bonds to attain 8 electrons in their valence shell. An example of this would be sodium chloride. Bonds that don't have 8 electrons in their valence shell don't follow this rule
It does follow the octet rule!
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
no it does not follow octet rule
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
