gatekeep this sir you have nice explanation!!!

[@AhmedMansour-s2v]

So does that make this compound have a charge of -2 given it has 2 "extra" electrons?

[@firozcherukuri8382]

Nice explanation thank u sir

[@beastslayer8735]

must the atoms of the 2 period always satisfy the octet rule ?????

[@chemistNATE]

In molecules (not intermediates), I have never seen C N O or F violate the octet rule. Li, Be and B (also period 2) violate it all the time

[@beastslayer8735]

@@chemistNATE yes sir , but we have some cases like BF3 , we have an "lacune electronic" on the B, sorry for my english i m studying it with french language

[@VirginianRailway]

why would cl have 10. it doesnt support octet rule
