The octet rule states that atoms will gain, lose, or share valence electrons to get a full outer shell (orbital). Explain in your own words why this is an important rule to determine types of chemical bonds someone pls help me i need it by today ty :)

In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"
