octet rule
« on: January 17, 2005, 10:46:51 PM »
What is a molecule with bonding that follows the octet rule? I know that CO, carbon monoxide, is one but I need to collect some (put it in a bag, container, etec) but I can't get CO.

Put the bag on the exhaust to collect some CO along with other nasty stuff.

isn't that the reason why cars have a Catalytic Converter, so no CO escapes?

CO2 follows octet rule as well. O=C=O

Bring in an empty container and tell them that everything inside follows the octet rule.  :P Oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide gas all follow the octet rule.
