Question

Does this atom satisfy the octet rule? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 'duplet' so it is related to “doublet” and refers to a pair or to the number two.

Answer 2

The octet rule says that atoms need to have eight electrons to be stable, except for hydrogen and helium, which need only two electrons. This atom has only one electron, so it does not satisfy the octet rule.
