Question

According to the octet rule of an atom has than 8 electrons

Answer 1

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically with eight valence electrons. This is known as the octet, or the complete outer energy level. However, there are exceptions to the octet rule, especially for elements in the third period and beyond, as they can have expanded, or even incomplete, valence shells.
