  2. Octet rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_rule

    The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens; although more generally the ...

  3. Valence electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron

    This tendency is called the octet rule, because each bonded atom has 8 valence electrons including shared electrons. Similarly, a transition metal tends to react to form a d 10 s 2 p 6 electron configuration. This tendency is called the 18-electron rule, because each bonded atom has 18 valence electrons including shared electrons.

  4. Electron counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_counting

    The neutral counting method assumes each OH bond is split equally (each atom gets one electron from the bond). Thus both hydrogen atoms have an electron count of one. The oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. The total electron count is 8, which agrees with the octet rule.

  5. Octet (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

    The octet is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that consists of eight bits. The term is often used when the term byte might be ambiguous, as the byte has historically been used for storage units of a variety of sizes. The term octad(e) for eight bits is no longer common.

  6. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    In the diagram of methane shown here, the carbon atom has a valence of four and is, therefore, surrounded by eight electrons (the octet rule), four from the carbon itself and four from the hydrogens bonded to it. Each hydrogen has a valence of one and is surrounded by two electrons (a duet rule) – its own one electron plus one from the carbon.
