Well I tink you mean the duet rule appling to first period and octet rule. The octet rule relates to the stable configuration that atoms can achive by sharing electrons, and is the outer shell of the noble gases.

HOWEVER for period 3 and above atoms can hold more than 8 electrons in their outermost shells.

What does the hund's rule states?

Hund's Rule states that electrons will occupy orbitals of a subshell singly before any are doubly occupied. This is to maximize the total spin of the electrons in the subshell.


What rule states that to be stable atoms need 2 valence electrons?

This rule doesn't exist; you think probable to octet rule.


How many does the atoms electrons in their outer shells does the Octet Rule state they need?

The Octet rule is for eight(8) electrons in the outer most energy shell. NB Remember 'Octa' from Latin , means '8' ( eight).

Which rule is violated in the configuration of 1s2 2s2 2px2?

Hund's rule is violated in this configuration. According to Hund's rule, electrons will fill empty orbitals before pairing up in the same orbital. In this case, the electrons should have filled the 2py and 2pz orbitals first before pairing up in the 2px orbital.

The Octet Rule states that many chemical compounds tend to form bounds. True or False?

True. The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons, making them more stable.


How many electrons go on the outer most energy level on an atom?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the outermost energy level of an atom is 8. This rule is based on the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons, making them more stable.


What rule states that atoms react so as to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas?

The octet rule states that atoms tend to react in a way that they achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. This rule is based on the tendency of atoms to stabilize their outer electron shell by attaining a full outer shell with 8 electrons.
