Question

main group atoms tend to form bonds such that the bonded atoms have a total of eight electrons associated with each bonded atom. this rule is known as the ______ rule. options: quartet, multiplet, hunts, octet question 8 1 pts because hydrogen needs only two electrons to fill its valence shell, it is an exception to the octet rule. options: true, false

Explanation:

1. Main - group atoms often follow the rule where they form bonds to have eight electrons around each bonded atom, which is called the octet rule.
2. Hydrogen has a 1s orbital for its valence shell and only needs 2 electrons to fill it, making it an exception to the octet rule.

Answer:

Question 1: D. octet
Question 2: A. True
