Water is a molecule made of three atoms (one oxygen and two hydrogen) and the concept of the electron octet applies to atoms, not to molecules. Oxygen, with six valance electrons, can acquire an octet by sharing the electrons of two hydrogen atoms, each of which have one electron. So the water molecule is self contained, it does not need any more electrons.
a covalent bond
Octet rule states that each electron wants to complete its octet ( 8 electrons in the outermost shell) or a duplet (in case of hydrogen and helium).
A liquid, graphite foil, neoprene, and fiber glass
The elements can be described by dot structure. Metals combine with other elements to make its octet complete.
when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases

Fluorine need one electron. It needs one electron to complete its octet.
A chlorine atom must gain one electron to complete its octet, as it has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs 8 to achieve a stable electron configuration.

In the ion of barium, two electron are lost to follow the octet rule (to have a complete valence electron shell).
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.
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
BCL3 is a Lewis acid because it can accept an electron pair from a Lewis base. Boron in BCl3 has an incomplete octet, making it electron deficient and capable of accepting an electron pair to complete its octet, giving it a positive charge.
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
