Question

What is the 2 8 8 rule in chemistry?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the 2n^2 rule and octet rule

Explanation:

It is used to calculate the number of electrons which can be held by a orbital ( k, l ,m ,n ...) '

'n' in the equation is the orbital number.

For example:

orbital-1: 2* (1^2) = 2

orbital 2: 2* (2^2) = 8

Octet Rule states that for the first 23 elements the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 8.
