Answer:
The octet rule states that atoms below atomic number 20 tend to combine so that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
One limitation of the octet rule is that it cannot be applied to the nonmetals after silicon in the Periodic Table.
