What else can I help you with?
A set of 8 valence electrons is called?
This is called an "octet" of electrons. It could also be called a "closed shell", since it is characteristic of the outer shell of noble gas atoms.
An octet is equal to?
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.
Do elements in group 8 readily or rarely form ions?
Group 8 rarely forms ions since it has steal/lose more electrons to follow the octet rule (having eight valence electrons).
Why is a filled valence shell often called an octet?
A filled valence shell often has 8 electrons, which is called an octet. This configuration is considered stable because it mimics the electron configuration of noble gases, which have full valence shells.
What are the families that contain a full octet of valence electrons?
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
What are 8 singers called?
A group of eight anything is called an "octet".
What is a group of 8 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)
Another word for an 8 piece band?
its called an octet
What is a group of 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 singers called?
A group of 5 singers is typically called a quintet, a group of 6 singers is called a sextet, a group of 7 singers is called a septet, a group of 8 singers is called an octet, and a group of 9 singers is called a nonet. These terms are commonly used in music to describe vocal ensembles of varying sizes.
What does octet mean?
a group of musicians with 8 players
What group is between a sextet and octet?
A septet is the group size between a sextet (6) and an octet (8). It consists of seven members.
How many musicians form an octet?
Eight musicians form an octet. Answer: Eight: 8 Uni, Duo, Tri, Quad, Pent, Hex, Sept, Oct
What is quartet doubled?
Assuming you mean an 8 piece chamber group, the term would be "Octet."
A set of 8 valence electrons is called?
This is called an "octet" of electrons. It could also be called a "closed shell", since it is characteristic of the outer shell of noble gas atoms.
What is different about the group 18 elements?
Group 19 elements have 8 valence electrons (obey octet rule) and are hence stable.
Why noble gases require the group 8 in the periodic table?
They have a perfect octet of valance electrons; eight in number.
