Question

complete the sentence.
atoms form chemical bonds to satisfy the
ule{1cm}{0.15mm} rule and to become
ule{2cm}{0.15mm}.

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration. The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to have 8 valence electrons (like noble gases). This stability makes them more chemically inert.

Answer:

octet; stable (or chemically stable)
