The octet rule states that atoms will gain, lose, or share valence electrons to get a full outer shell (orbital). Explain in you

r own words why this is an important rule to determine types of chemical bonds
someone pls help me i need it by today ty :)

Referring to the octet rule, atoms attempt to get a noble gas electron configuration, which is eight valence electrons. Sodium has one valence electron, so giving it up would result in the same electron configuration as neon. Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight (an octet)

Answer:

In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

Give the reason for the evaporation of the solution to dryness with 6 m hcl in the first procedure of the copper-arsenic group a
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>
Evaporation occurred between the reaction of the hydrochloric acid and the arsenic group because there is a formation of gas. A liquid is cooled if condensation exceeds evaporation. This is because the cooling of the liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Their movement is being restricted by the colder temperature. The molecules tend to be closer with each other. Also, because of their restricted movement, the liquid may turn into solid due the colder temperature. An example of this is the cooling of liquid water by placing it into the refrigerator into solid water (ice).</span>

16. Which element has th17. Magnesium, Mg, tends to form a +2 ion. Which will have the larger atomic radius? Mg or Mg2+ (Explain
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Th is the symbol for element Thorium.

Mg is magnesium while Mg 2+ is magnesium Ion. Judging from periodic trends, atomic radius is one half the distance between the atoms of two covalently bonded atoms. It decreases as elevtrons are added to valence shells. That means, across the period it increases and down the group it decreases. Making Mg2+ smaller.

Electronegativity is the energy needed to take an electron in the gaseous state. Florine is more electron negative that lithium. It increases across the period and decreases down the group. Except in the Noble group.
