What is the octet rule?

Chemistry
2 answers:
solong [7]3 years ago
7 0

The octet rule says that atoms need to have full valence shells to become stable.

  • Most atoms need eight electrons to fill their valence shells.
  • Hydrogen and helium atoms need only two electrons to fill their valence shells.
  • Atoms that don't have full valence shells form chemical bonds with other atoms to fill their valence shells and satisfy the octet rule.
  • Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together.
  • A force is a push or pull on an object.

Hope this helps you!

Have a great day! :)

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

Which of the following is the largest volume? 1.2 x 101 m3 1.2 x 108 cm3 2.0 x 104 dm3 1.2 x 108 mm3
alexandr1967 [171]
In order to answer this question, the units of volume must be consistent. In this problem, we decide the unit m3 to be uniform. Option A is equal to 12 m3, option b is equal to 1.2x10^8/100^3 or 120 m3. Option C is 2.0 x10^4/ 10^3 or 20 m3. Option D is 1.2x10^8/ 1000^3 or 0.12 m3. The greatest volume is option b. 120 m3.
