Define octet rule # |
| Answer» ?<br>Thanks sona<br>Octet rule: Atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another (gaining or loosing) or by sharing of valence electrons in order to have an octet in their valence shells.<br>Thanks bro<br><div style="border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align:start; -webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">Octet rule:</div><div style="border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align:start; -webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">\tAccording to the electronic theory of valence, every atom tries to attain the octet configuration (presence of eight electrons) in its valence shell by losing, gaining or sharing of electrons. This is known as the\xa0octet rule.\xa0\t\t\xa0\t\t\t\xa0The stable octet can be achieved by the transfer of electrons or by sharing of a pair of electrons between the atoms. In this process, each atom attains a stable outer octet of electrons.\t</div> | |
