The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
The molecules will be more separated, and will have least amount of intermolecular force of attraction.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The molecules inside the jar of Lilly are moving around each other. This means the state of the matter present inside the jar is liquid. As Lily gives more energy inside the jar , the molecules inside the jar will get more separated as the kinetic energy of the molecules increase and the intermolecular force of attraction decreases as well as the intermolecular separation or distance increase. As the energy is continued to be supplied from outside, there will be a time when this liquid will reaches boiling point and will start to change into gas. After this point the intermolecular force of attraction will be least among molecules and their separation will be maximum.
