explain octet rule ??????

shivigupta2491: The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electron configuration as a noble gas

shivigupta2491: heyy

yuvrajkj: The octet rule states that the atoms continue to form bond until they form an octet of electrons or eight electrons.

it is the chemical rule given by thumb according to which an electron gains or looses electron to become stable or to fill it's valance shell to reach the electronic configuration of nearest noble gas is known as octate rule.

Answered by AJAYMAHICH

The octet rule states that elements gain or lose electrons to attain an electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. For example, fluorine atom accepts one electron to become octet, and takes up the electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6, which is the electron configuration of neon (the noble gas nearest to fluorine on the periodic table).

Atoms obey the octet rule because they always seek the most stable electron configuration. Following the octet rule results in completely filled s and p orbitals in the atom’s outermost energy level.
