What is the Octet Rule?

Back

The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration similar to that of noble gases.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?

Back

Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a full valence shell, which provides stability and lowers their energy state.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to an atom that gains electrons?

Back

An atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to an atom that loses electrons?

Back

An atom that loses electrons becomes positively charged and is called a cation.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which group of elements satisfies the Octet Rule without bonding?

Back

Group 18 (Noble gases) satisfies the Octet Rule and does not bond with other atoms.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How many valence electrons does Aluminum (Al) have?

Back

Aluminum (Al) has 3 valence electrons.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How many electrons does Aluminum (Al) need to lose to achieve stability?

Back

Aluminum (Al) needs to lose 3 electrons to achieve stability.
