Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that most elements need 8 valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a Lewis dot structure?

Back

A Lewis dot structure is a diagram that shows the valence electrons of an atom and how they are arranged in a molecule.
