Why is there an octet rule in writing Lewis structures?

Before we can sketch the Lewis structures of molecules, we must first understand the octet rule. The octet rule asserts that when atoms combine to create compounds, electrons are gained, lost, or shared among them, resulting in a stable electron configuration defined by eight valence electrons as a result. These rules are used in conjunction with the main-group components of the second period.

Hope it helps:)

b. acid is the correct answer @jayxboof all social media

acid : acids are those which accepts an electron-pairs.

base : bases are those which donates ab electron-pairs.

alkali : it is a base that dissolves in water. it is basically a base and the ph greater than 7.

hydroxide ion : it is a poly-atomic ion which is negatively charged.
