Atoms that don't have a full octet are typically those that have fewer than eight electrons in their outer shell, which can make them more reactive. Examples include hydrogen, lithium, and beryllium, which can form bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration. Additionally, elements like boron may also have incomplete octets, often forming compounds where they share electrons with other atoms. These atoms tend to seek additional electrons through chemical bonding to reach a more stable state.

What are 8 singers called?
A group of eight anything is called an "octet".
What are 8 musicians called?
there's no name for that.EDIT: Actually - a group of eight musicians is called an Octet ! Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
What is James hetfields full address?
you dont deserve JAMES HETFIELDS full adress
Are there any famous octet music groups?
Octets contain musical groupings of eight. These groupings vary instrumentally, so famous octet groups also vary. Dave Brubeck composed a famous jazz octet, while Mendelssohn composed a famous classical octet.
How many musicians form an octet?
Eight musicians form an octet. Answer: Eight: 8 Uni, Duo, Tri, Quad, Pent, Hex, Sept, Oct
Is argon a diatom?
No, argon exists as single atoms as it has a full outer shell (full octet)
Which of the atoms below dont always obey the octet rule?
H and l
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 many electrons does each atom desire?
Atoms do not actually have desires as such, although the metaphor can be useful. Atoms are more stable when they have a full outer electron shell. The smaller atoms, hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium, can obtain a full outer shell with only two electrons in it. The heavier atoms require 8 electrons to have a full outer shell. That is known as the octet rule (an octet is a set of eight).
What group has a complete octet and wont bond with other atoms?
Noble gases have a complete octet and are stable because they have a full outer electron shell. They do not chemically bond with other atoms because they are already in a stable configuration.
Atoms can achieve a full octet of electrons by doing what?
By bonding with another atom, either ionically (donates/receives electrons) or covalently (electron sharing).
What does atoms have to do to fill the outermost energy level?
they need to either gain or lose electrons to create an octet. It depends on the atom. an octet is when an atom has a full outermost energy level
Why do atoms share gain or lose electrons?
Atoms share, gain, or lose electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration, usually a full valence shell. This is known as the octet rule. By doing so, atoms can attain lower energy levels and become more stable.
Does the presence of an octet makes an atom very likely to react with other elements?
Yes, atoms with an octet are stable and less likely to react with other elements because they have a full outer shell. Octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, making them more stable.
What is the statement that when atoms combine to form molecules they general lose or gain or sharevalence electrons until they attain or share eight?
This statement is known as the octet rule. It states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they either gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons (octet) to attain stability.
How many bonds does oxygen atoms always have?
Oxygen atoms always have two covalent bonds. This allows them to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, following the octet rule.
Which statements about the octet rule is are true?
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.
