Chapter 12, Problem 27E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An atom with a quadruple (four) bond can obey the octet rule is to be stated and the reason for the corresponding answer is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

According to the octet rule, each atom tends to complete eight electrons in its valence shell to acquire the noble gas configuration, which is a stable configuration. In a stable configuration each, $s$ and $p$ orbitals are completely filled. If the bonding electron for the atom is satisfied with an octet of electrons, then the bonding is said to be stable.
