Question

How does the octet rule relate to ion formation? A) The octet rule states that atoms form ions in an effort to acquire electron configuration permanence. B) Ion formation can only occur if the atom has a full octet electron configuration of valence electrons. C) Formation of mutable noble gas configuration ions results from atoms with ambiguous octet configurations. D) Atoms gain or lose electrons forming ions to achieve a more stable electron configuration in its valence shell.

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms gain or lose electron to become more stable
