Chapter 8, Problem 60GQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compounds or ions that obey octet rule of electrons that the central atom has eight electrons around it should be identified. The odd–electron molecules should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Octet rule: The atoms of main group element tend to combine with other atoms in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the electron configuration same as a Nobel gas.
