Question

what is an octate? why would atoms want to complete their atoms

Answer 1

hello

happy New year in advance

here is your answer,

The tendency to have eight electrons in its valence shell is known as octate. The atoms want to complete their octate to get stable electronic configuration.

hope this helps you

Answer 2

• The octet is the tendency of an atom to fulfill its outermost shell to attain a noble gas stable electronic configuration.
• To complete the octet, atoms gain or donate the electrons and maintain a certain charge.
• The noble gases don't have to complete their octet as they have a full-filled stable electronic configuration.
• The atoms want to complete their octet to gain stability.
• The atoms become unreactive after completing their octets and attain stability.
