octet rule animation

Exceptions to the Octet Rule - While the octet rule is very useful for describing bonding in a large number of compounds, there are many exceptions to this rule..

Where duplet is formed? A hydrogen atom has only one electron in its valence shell. It needs one more electron to fill its valence shell. The completed shell has the electronic arrangement of the noble gas helium, yet an octet is not completed. However we still get a stable m..

. This is a very important rule and is also called the Octet rule. The presence of 8 electrons in the outermost shell makes the atom very stable. Keeping these points in mind let us write the electronic configuration of elemen..

SO 2 Here all atoms obey the octet rule. Oxygen and sulphur atoms have six electrons in their outermost shells. The Lewis structure of SO 2 is, S is attached to one O atom through a double bond while to the other O atom through a coordinate bond. All atoms have eig..

(I) Sulphur atom has six valence electrons. The two hydrogens in this compound are present as OH groups. The possible Lewis structure of H 2 SO 4 is, (III) Boron atom (B) has 3 electrons in its outermost shell, and Cl has 7. B does not obey the octet rule. The possible Lew..

. The domestic cat belongs to the same genus Felis but not to the same species. Scientifically it is known as Felis domestica. Similarly the scientific name of tiger is Felis tigris and that of lion is Felis leo. There are certain guidelines laid down with reference to the use of binomial nomenclat..
