Octet Rule Explained – Why Atoms Want 8 Electrons

🎯 Octet Rule Explained – Why Atoms Want 8 Electrons (Inorganic Chem 2.2)
Why do atoms always seem to “want” 8 electrons? In this quick, visual video, we break down the Octet Rule — one of the most important concepts in chemistry. You’ll learn why atoms form bonds, how electron configurations drive stability, and when the octet rule actually applies.

🧠 In this video, you’ll learn:

What the octet rule is and where it comes from

Why 8 valence electrons = stability

How the octet rule explains bonding in molecules

Which elements follow it — and which ones don’t

Examples using Lewis structures and real molecules
