Lewis' octet rule

Lewis' octet rule

________ is as follows: When an atom other than hydrogen is surrounded by eight valence electrons, it tends to form bonds.

Halogens

________ and oxygen are most likely to produce anions.

Chemists

________ utilize Lewis dot symbols, a system of dots invented by Lewis, to keep track of valence electrons in a chemical process and ensure that the total number of electrons does not change.

Compounds

________ with purely covalent bonding are known as covalent ________.

Born Haber cycle

The ________ connects the lattice energies of ionic compounds with ionization energies, electron affinities, and other atomic and molecular characteristics.

F2

In the production of ________, just two valence electrons are involved.

electrostatic force

The ________ that holds ions together in an ionic molecule is called an ionic bond.

lone pairs

If electrons from the central or surrounding atoms are not involved in bonding, they must be shown as ________.

enthalpy change

The ________ required to break a specific bond in 1 mole of gaseous molecules is a measure of a molecule's stability.

Alkali metals

________ and alkaline earth metals, on the other hand, are more likely to create cations in ionic compounds.

BN bond

The ________ in the above- mentioned chemical differs from the covalent bonds previously outlined in that the N atom contributes both electrons.
