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.

Is a covalent bond the same thing as a covalent compound ?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: The term covalent refers to a type of bonding in which pairs of valence electrons are shared by two atoms. Covalent compounds are those that exhibit covalent bonding. Molecular compounds are a type of covalent compound.

The diagram shows the movement of particles from one end of the container to the opposite end of the container.
11111nata11111 [884]

The event which is most likely occurring in this scenario is effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume and is denoted as option C.

<h3>What is Effusion?</h3>

This is referred to as the process in which a gas or a substance escapes from a container through a hole of diameter which is usually smaller.

The type of event which is most likely occurring is effusion because of the presence of the small holes in which the balls are made to pass through the center which is why option C was chosen.

The options are:

  • diffusion because particles move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.
  • diffusion because particles move from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration.
  • effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume.
  • effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a large opening into a smaller volume

H2, N2, O2 molecules. . . A)must be polar. must be nonpolar. . B)can be polar or nonpolar depending on geometric . C)configurati
LenKa [72]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: H_2, O_2

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.
