Boron and fluorine in the trivalent boron compound BF3 have only 6 electrons in the valence shell.
Oxygen and nitrogen in nitric oxide, NO, contain one or more atoms which have an odd number (one UNpaired '.' ) of electrons. Lewis dot structure |N.=O
Xenon can achieve a stable octet by forming compounds with elements that can share their electrons with xenon. For example, xenon can form compounds with fluorine, chlorine, or oxygen where xenon acts as the central atom and bonds with these more electronegative elements to complete its octet.
NOBLE GAS Noble gas,any of 7 chemical elements that make up of GROUP 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table.The elements are Helium(He),Neon(Ne),Argon(Ar),Krypton(Kr),Xenon(Xe),Radon(Rn),and Oganesson(Og).
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Carbon compounds form covalent compounds because carbon has four valence electrons, allowing it to easily share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable octet configuration. Covalent bonding between carbon atoms and other elements results in the formation of stable molecules with shared electron pairs.
Elements can exist as molecules when they combine with other elements to form compounds due to the sharing or transfer of electrons, creating stable structures. These molecules are held together by chemical bonds, which can be covalent, ionic, or metallic, depending on the types of elements involved. The formation of molecules allows the elements to achieve a more stable configuration, following the octet rule and minimizing their energy state.
Xenon can achieve a stable octet by forming compounds with elements that can share their electrons with xenon. For example, xenon can form compounds with fluorine, chlorine, or oxygen where xenon acts as the central atom and bonds with these more electronegative elements to complete its octet.
Most element can do this, the exceptions are the noble gasses.
Boron typically forms compounds by sharing electrons, rather than obtaining a full octet. It can form compounds with elements such as hydrogen and fluorine, but it often displays unique bonding patterns due to its electron deficiency.
Elements in the third period or beyond (Si and beyond) in the periodic table can form compounds with expanded octets. This includes elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and xenon. These elements can often exceed the octet rule by forming more than 8 electrons in their valence shell in some compounds.
Uranium typically forms compounds where it does not have an octet due to its ability to expand its valence shell beyond eight electrons. Uranium can often exceed the octet rule in its bonding arrangements.
Elements bond to form compounds and thereby try to gain better stability by getting octet configuration.
Some elements that are known to violate the octet rule are: Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium (two electrons) Aluminum and Boron (less than octet but will form an octet if possible), Period 3 elements with p orbitals (more than an octet using empty d orbitals), noble gas compounds (more than an octet), and elements like nitrogen with an odd number of electrons (form free radicals when octets are not possible).
They have an octet of outer electrons, so they are stable. They do not tend to form any compounds.
Elements in period 3 and beyond, such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and bromine, can form compounds with an expanded octet. These elements have empty d orbitals available for bonding, allowing them to exceed the octet rule and form compounds with more than eight electrons around the central atom.
Neon does not typically form ionic compounds because it already has a full valence shell with 8 electrons, satisfying the octet rule. Its electron configuration (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6) makes it very stable and unreactive with other elements.

No. Elements are not made of compounds. Elements may be combined to form compounds.
