How many electrons do you need to be considered to have octect? Will Hydrogen and Chlorine share electrons or transfer electrons to each other? Explain your answer. What element has an octect of two valence electrons? How does octect work? What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds? How is the chemical bond formed in an inonic compound?

(1) The outermost shell should have Eight electrons to complete or called as  octet and attain stability.  

(2) Hydrogen and Chlorine share Electrons with each other and form Covalent bonding.

(3) Hydrogen forms an octet by obtaining an electron, and Helium is the only element that has an octet with two electrons.

(4) The octet rule states that an atom should attain eight electrons in the outermost shell to get stability, However we have exceptional like Hydrogen and helium.

(5) In Ionic bond there is a formation of Ions of the elements in a compound, like in NaCl there will be Na+ and Cl-.

(6) While in Covalent bond there is sharing of electron between the atoms included like O2.

(7) In ionic bond there is an electrostatic force of attraction while in Covalent bond the is a mutual sharing of electrons.
