Octet Rule

The Octet Rule is quite simple. It basically means that in order for an element to be full, it has to have a full octet. A full octet consists of eight atoms in an element. Exceptions to the rule of eight are Hydrogen and Helium which only need two.Beryllium, Alluminum, and Lithium also do not follow the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule relates to the formation of a bond because it states  how many electrons is needs to correctly bond to another element.
