What is the octet rule?

The octet rule suggests atoms are most stable when they have eight electrons in their outermost shell.

The octet rule is a principle that applies only to metals and not to nonmetals.

The octet rule states that atoms can only bond with other atoms that have a full outer shell of electrons.

The octet rule indicates that atoms are most stable with four electrons in their outermost shell.

When writing chemical formulas, what is the purpose of subscript?

To indicate the number of atoms of each element in a chemical compound.

To indicate the color of the chemical compound.

To represent the state of matter of a substance.

To show the charge of an element in a compound.

Which of the following is a characteristic of ionic compounds?

They have high melting and boiling points.

They are composed of only nonmetals.

They have low electrical conductivity in solid form.

They are always soluble in water.

In the process of ionic bonding, ions come together because

positive and negative ions attract

like charges attract each other

What is the purpose of using the criss-cross method in chemistry?

To determine the correct formula for ionic compounds by balancing charges.

To predict the reaction rates of chemical reactions.

To identify the physical state of substances.

To calculate the molar mass of compounds.

What happens when an atom loses an electron?

It remains neutral because the proton also leaves.

Why is group 18 of the periodic table non-reactive?

Group 18 elements are non-reactive due to their full valence electron shells.

Group 18 elements are highly reactive with water.

Group 18 elements have incomplete electron shells.
