Q

In some instances, the central atom of a covalently bonded molecule can accommodate

A

more or less than 8 electrons in its outer shell

19
Q

Being able to accommodate more than 8 electrons in the outer shell is known as

A

expanding the octet rule

20
Q

Accommodating less than 8 electrons in the outer shell means than the central atom is
