Octet Rule
The Octet Rule, a fundamental concept in chemistry, governs the behavior of atoms in forming chemical bonds. It states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration resembling that of noble gases, typically with eight valence electrons. This rule provides a predictive framework for understanding the stability and reactivity of molecules, guiding the formation of chemical compounds and the elucidation of molecular structures. Understanding the Octet Rule is essential for comprehending the principles underlying chemical bonding and the behavior of atoms in various chemical reactions.
