The octet rule is a simple chemical rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is applicable to the main-group elements, especially carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium. In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons.
no it does not follow octet rule
Uranium typically forms compounds where it does not have an octet due to its ability to expand its valence shell beyond eight electrons. Uranium can often exceed the octet rule in its bonding arrangements.
An octet of electrons is when the outermost electron shell of an atom contains eight electrons.
Two quartets together are typically referred to as an octet.
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
its called an octet
An octet.
A group of eight anything is called an "octet".
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
The noun 'octet' is a word for a group of eight. The noun 'octet' is not a standard collective noun for a specific group, but can be used as a collective noun for any group of eight; for example, an octet of singers, an octet of swans, etc.
An octet is a stanza of poetry that has eight lines.
Octet - Christensen - was created in 1958.
Octet - Martins - was created in 2003.
Count the number of electrons, they must equal 8, if not the you must increase the amount of elements to make the numbers work to equal 8. Ions like NO3- has a charge of -1 so it needs one electron to serve the octet rule so an ion like H+ will work because it is +1.
Yes, iodine can exceed the octet rule and have an expanded octet due to its ability to accommodate more than eight electrons in its valence shell.
an octet is eight: the cardinal number that is the sum of seven and one.
there's no name for that.EDIT: Actually - a group of eight musicians is called an Octet ! Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
