The Ions Li+, Be2+ And H- Do Not Follow The Octet Rule. Why?, A. They Belong To Group Ia, B. They Are Stable With 3 Or 4 Electrons, C. They Are Stable
The ions Li+, Be2+ and H- do not follow the octet rule. Why?
A. They belong to group IA
B. They are stable with 3 or 4 electrons
C. They are stable with 2 electrons only
D. They do not have 8 electrons in their outermost shells
Good Day
Problem:
The ions Li+, Be2+ and H- do not follow the octet rule. Why?
Answer:
C. They are stable with 2 electrons only
Some definition of the octet rules states that atoms would like to have 8 electrons in its valence shell. However, there are atoms which only have the first shell which can only hold 2 electrons on it like ions Li+, Be2+ and H-.
Which is said to be exemption to the rule.
Hope it helps...=)
