What is Octet Rule?

Q.     What is Octet Rule?

Ans. It was stated by G.N. Lewis that all the noble gases (except helium) have a stable outer shell of eight electrons. Therefore, in general, atoms of other Elements tend to acquire a stable 8-electron outer shell (octet), by transfer or sharing of valence electrons so as to form chemical bonds.
