Question

The octet rule indicates that all of the shells in an atom hold a maximum of 8 electrons. the noble gases react with other compounds to get 8 valence electrons. all of the noble gases have eight total electrons. all of the Group A elements have 8 valence electrons. atoms lose, gain, or share valence electrons to have 8 valence electrons.

Step 1

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. Show more…
