So if 2n^2 could predict the maximum number of electrons in the n shell. Then the 3rd shell should hold 18 electrons since chlorine has 17 electrons in a neutral state how come we say it pursues the octet rule despite it being able to hold 18 electrons? For example, it's shown during an ionic transfer with Na to gain an electron and be satisfied occurring to the octet rule. Please explain does it have to deal with the orbitals?

You are trying to draw some Lewis structures for molecules based on some notes that a friend gave you. Unfortunately, your friend has very bad handwriting, so you can't read everything properly, especially the elemental symbols. You decide to write a shorthand for yourself, and you know that element Q has 4 valence electrons, element R has 5 valence electrons, element T has 6 valence electrons, and element X has 7 valence electrons. Determine the shape of each of the following molecules from what you know about their valence electrons. Choose the shape for each one from the dropdown menu. The molecule QX4 has a shape of The molecule RX3 has a shape of The molecule QTX2 has a shape of

How many valence electrons does a neutral tellurium atom have?
Why can any atom have no more than 8 valence electrons?
Why can't second-row elements have more than eight electrons in their valence shell? That is, why does the octet rule work for second-row elements?
Decide whether this proposed Lewis structure is reasonable. proposed Lewis structure Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable? Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: || H –C= N No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* * If two or more atoms of the same element don't satisfy the octet rule, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms don't satisfy the octet rule, enter "O,0".
The ionic radii of element E and a different metallic element, M, are shown in the following table: Both elements form oxides, E2O and MO. If lattice energy is defined as the energy required to separate an ionic solid into individual separate gaseous ions, would the lattice energy of MO be less than, equal to, or greater than the lattice energy of the oxide E2O? Justify your answer in terms of Coulomb's law
When atoms react to form chemical bonds, only the electrons in the outermost or valence shell are involved. Thus, the configuration of the valence shell is important in bond formation. In order to place emphasis on the electrons in the outermost shell, a special symbol known as Lewis diagram (also called electron-dot structures) is used. Assuming that, element P has seven electrons, while element Q has eight electrons. When element P shared electrons with element Q, it will form an anion. Illustrate a 'dot and cross' diagram to show the bonding between element P and element Q. Based on the diagram, indicate the shape and the angle bond. Explain your answer.
