Q

What does the octet rule generally determine?

A

-Atoms are most stable when they have a full 8 valence electrons
-In order to get 8 valence electrons, atoms must share or transfer electrons

Q

The octet rule can be satisfied when an atoms does what?

A

-Shares an electron
-Gains enough electrons to have a full octet in it’s valence energy level
-Loses enough electrons to expose full octet of the next lower level

Q

The properties of water are different form the properties of hydrogen and oxygen because why?

A

The hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms share electrons, so chemical bonding changes the properties.
