The octet rule is a simple chemical rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight...
You can use the parallelgram rule, or if you have the vectors written as components you can just add them. If you give me an example I will help more Doctor Chuck
With just one more musician in the band, we can be an octet.

give example of subset
The expanded octet rule in which atoms can exceed the usual 8 valence electrons is not a general octet rule.
The octet rule is a rule in chemistry where elements want to form bonds to attain 8 electrons in their valence shell. An example of this would be sodium chloride. Bonds that don't have 8 electrons in their valence shell don't follow this rule
An example of a molecule that follows the octet rule is methane (CH4). In methane, carbon forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen, allowing each atom to achieve a full outer shell of electrons (octet) and satisfy the octet rule.
no it does not follow octet rule
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
NH3 is not an exception to the octet rule. Nitrogen (N) in NH3 has a total of 8 valence electrons (5 from nitrogen and 3 from hydrogen), fulfilling the octet rule. Nitrogen has 3 bonded pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons, following the octet rule.
Hydrogen is the atom that doesn't always obey the octet rule. It only needs 2 electrons to have a full outer shell, rather than the 8 electrons typically required by the octet rule. Oxygen and bromine usually follow the octet rule.
One example of a compound where the octet rule is expanded to include 12 electrons is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). In SF6, the sulfur atom has 12 electrons around it, exceeding the typical octet rule. This expansion allows sulfur to complete its valence shell and achieve stability.
The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
octet rule
CF4 and XeF4 do not violate the octet rule. In CF4, carbon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine, fulfilling the octet rule. In XeF4, xenon forms four covalent bonds with fluorine and has two lone pairs, also satisfying the octet rule.
The octet rule only applies to elements that are heavy enough to have reached the second shell of electrons. In the first shell, the octet rule does not apply because the first shell is completed with only two electrons, not eight. So no, the octet rule does not apply to beryllium hydride.
