Answer:
False
Explanation:
The octet rule forms the basis for chemical reactions. The octet rule states that; an atom is only stable when it has eight electrons around its outermost shell.
This implies that the driving force behind chemical reaction is the attainment of an octet structure(eight electrons in the outermost shell of each of the bonding atoms).
An atom that has only six electrons in its outermost shell is not yet stable according to the demand of the octet rule. Hence, the statement "chemical reactions happen and compounds form because they're trying to get 6 electrons in their outer orbitals" is false.
