The octet Rule
The Octet Rule requires all atoms in a molecule to have 8
valence electrons –either by sharing, losing or gaining
electrons—to become stable. For covalent bonds, atoms
tend to share their electron with each other to satisfy the
Octet Rule. It requires 8 electron because that is the
amount of electron needed to fill a s and p orbital, also
known as noble gas configuration. Each atom wants to
become as stable as the noble gases that have their outer
valence shell filled because noble gases have a charge of 0.
