Question

define octet rule...??
​

Answer 1

octet rule states that for an atom to be stable it should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. only when an atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell it will be stable

Answer 2

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron configuration of a noble gas. An exception to an octet of electrons is in the case of the first noble gas, helium, which only has two valence electrons.
