Electronic theory of valance was given by.…
a) G.N Lewis                                        

b) W.Kossel
c) a & b both                                       

d) Robert

c

In chemical bond formation, atoms take part by ………. of electrons.
a) gaining                                             

b) losing 
c) sharing                                              

d) all of these

d

Atoms make bond to attain the electronic configuration of …………
a) alkaline earth metals 

b) alkali metals
c)  halogens                                          

d) noble gases

d

Explanation:Noble gases have complete their valence shell by fulfilling octet or duplet rule.So these are most stable.



When atoms have…….……electrons in their outermost shell they are stable.
a)  2   

b)  8   

c) 12      

c)  a & b both

c

The electron theory of valence can be named as
a) octet theory of valence                 
b) duplet theory of valence              

c) a & b both       

d) molecular orbital theory

c

 Octet theory of valence means ………….
a)  rule of eight                  

b)  rule of two
c)  rule of ten                                       

d) rule of sixteen

a

Explanation:The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
