The Octet Rule: Help, Definition, and Exceptions

The Octet Rule is a general rule that is used to describe chemical bonding and draw Lewis Structures. The rule states that Main Group elements form bonds in a manner that results in each atom having eight valence electrons in the highest energy level (sometimes called outer shell). This results in each atom having the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
For a complete tutorial drawing Lewis Structures, watch my video:
• How to Draw Lewis Stru...
The Octet Rule doesn’t work all the time and there are many exceptions. Hydrogen is one of the most notable exceptions and only needs two electrons to fill its outer shell. There are numerous other exceptions including expanded octets which can have up to twelve valence electrons.
Even with the exceptions, the Octet Rule is a valuable rule of thumb that helps scientists predict how atoms will bond to form compounds. These predictions are often what is ultimately unobserved in the lab.

    @@poojaboutique9147 Good question. I use a number of tools and increasingly I’m trying to use only open source software. Lately I’ve used InkScape (inkscape.org) for the writing. It is vector based so it gives the writing a very smooth feel. Adobe Illustrator was a bit expensive and I wanted to use software that was available to everyone. For image manipulation I use GIMP (www.gimp.org). Animations are usually done in OpenToonz (opentoonz.github.io) although I’ve not done much lately since it takes a lot of time. Often for molecular geometry I use phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/molecule-shapes/latest/molecule-shapes_en.html. MolView: molview.org/ is really helpful as well. For screen recording I use Camtasia Studio (costs money). This isn’t open source. I also do my cleanup and editing using Camtasia Studio. Many of the fades and transitions are done in Camtasia. OBS Studio (obsproject.com) is a free capture program that I’ve been meaning to try. I’m using a Dell Inspiron notebook computer with Windows 10 and a Yeti Blue Microphone. My writing tablet is a Wacom Bamboo. There are a lot of moving pieces, but they make the process more enjoyable and the outcome more useful.

    When you say minimize energy, what do you mean by that? I remember the term lowest energy state. Maybe that is a rule of nature. I am guessing that there is a whole lot more to this than could be. answered with a short answer. I have one more question. Hydrogen comes in pairs. Do the electrons circle the entire pairs or do they go and figure eights? I also wonder if the hydrogen atoms come together so that the electrons can interact with each other?

  • @wbreslyn

    @wbreslyn

    Good questions! The electrons in a covalent bond are not actually circling the atoms in a figure eight pattern. Instead, they are spread out in a cloud around the two atoms. The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the shape of the orbitals that the electrons are in. So for H2 they are shared. Yes, I would say the tendency of a system to minimize its energy is a rule of nature. In this case the H atoms molecule can minimize its energy by forming bonds between its atoms to make H2.

    Why is this drawn like this? Do electrons really pair up like that. Aren't they supposed to be spaced since they repel each other.

    That makes sense. Ionic compounds have ionic bonds holding the elements together. --- Dr. B

    i know when atoms form ionic and covalent bonds, but when do they form metallic? is it metal + metal? Also, in my chemistry course, we talk about polar and non-polar covalent bonds. What is this? also random question: which sublevels are full when an atom has a noble gas configuration (test question)

    Okay, so metal + metal is metallic bonding. And: Polar/NonPolar: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXx6qbqfh6XFopc.html s and p for nobal gas... Hope you did well on your test! --- Dr. B

    It is considered to be a more stable way for atoms to bond together. But there are lots of exceptions to the octet rule: Exceptions to the Octet Rule: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dp-ej7WGcq-3qrA.html --- Dr. B
