The rule is that the metallic (or the less electronegative) element goes first, and the non-metallic (or more electronegative) element goes second. And the second element has an alteration in its name to indicate the formation of a compound. For example, sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride.
Elements in the third period or beyond (Si and beyond) in the periodic table can form compounds with expanded octets. This includes elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and xenon. These elements can often exceed the octet rule by forming more than 8 electrons in their valence shell in some compounds.
This is an old rule (Law of definite proportions) not valid for nonstoichiometric compounds.
Among the elements listed, lead (Pb) can form compounds with an expanded octet, as it is a heavier element that can utilize d-orbitals for bonding. Krypton (Kr) is a noble gas and typically does not form compounds due to its complete octet. Silicon (Si) and boron (B) usually follow the octet rule, although boron can sometimes form compounds with less than an octet. Therefore, only lead can form compounds with an expanded octet from the elements provided.
Some elements that are known to violate the octet rule are: Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium (two electrons) Aluminum and Boron (less than octet but will form an octet if possible), Period 3 elements with p orbitals (more than an octet using empty d orbitals), noble gas compounds (more than an octet), and elements like nitrogen with an odd number of electrons (form free radicals when octets are not possible).
The octet rule is a chemical principle stating that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration similar to that of noble gases. In organic compounds, this rule primarily applies to elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and halogens, which often form covalent bonds that allow them to share or transfer electrons to satisfy the octet requirement. For example, carbon typically forms four bonds to achieve an octet, while oxygen forms two. While the octet rule is a useful guideline, there are exceptions, particularly in compounds with elements that can accommodate more or fewer than eight electrons.
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)

Roman numerals are used in naming certain ionic compounds to indicate the charge of the transition metal ion when a transition metal can have multiple oxidation states. This helps distinguish between different compounds with the same elements but different charges, ensuring clarity and specificity in naming.
Grammar.
Elements in the third period or beyond (Si and beyond) in the periodic table can form compounds with expanded octets. This includes elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and xenon. These elements can often exceed the octet rule by forming more than 8 electrons in their valence shell in some compounds.
Elements are substances composed of only one type of atom, while compounds are substances composed of more than one type of atom chemically bonded together. To identify a substance as an element or compound, you can perform chemical analyses to determine its composition and structure. Additionally, elements appear on the periodic table as individual atoms, while compounds have chemical formulas representing their composition.

the ways in naming a set are: roster method, rule method and set builders
When naming ionic compounds with variable oxidation numbers, the cation's charge is specified using Roman numerals in parentheses after the metal's name. For example, iron(II) chloride and iron(III) chloride for FeCl2 and FeCl3, respectively.
Fluorine is so chemically active that it occurs naturally only in compounds. It is the most electronegative element, meaning it readily forms bonds with other elements to achieve a stable electron configuration.
