According to octet rule, atoms combine with each other to have octet in their valence shell and achieve stable noble gas configuration

Pruthviraj Gurav 6 years, 3 months ago

Octet rule: Atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another (gaining or loosing) or by sharing of valence electrons in order to have an octet in their valence shells.

Saurabh Ojha 6 years, 3 months ago

The bonding in carbon dioxide (CO2): all atoms are surrounded by 8 electrons, fulfilling the octet rule. The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium
