Octet Rule

[105194078]

So when there's a molecule like Oxygen and Helium together in a lewis dot structure does is it valid to say that Heliums electron is part of Oxygens now and now is following the Octet rule?

Helium probably wouldn't bond with other elements because it is already stable as a noble gas. Noble gasses are known not to react with other elements.

Does this also apply for Nitrogen with Hydrogen and Helium? Would Nitrogen be following the rule? When they're together doesn't the bond technically make it a pair?

Helium probably wouldn't bond with other elements because it is already stable as a noble gas. Noble gasses are known not to react with other elements.

Okay, then let's say it's a different element like Carbon. Would it still be following the rule?

In the case of oxygen and carbon, you would say that they are sharing their electrons because it is a covalent bond. If it were a scenario where there were ionic bonds then you could say that atom A took one electron from Atom B

Lewis structures show how atoms are bonded together, and atoms bond together to achieve an octet so atoms in a Lewis dot structure should be following the octet rule. Also, I think it is more accurate to say that the different elements are sharing electrons, not that one is a part of another's.

Sorry, I'm just curious about the atoms that share double bonds. Would those that share double bonds count as having just 2 or having 4 in total? Does that make sense?

With double bonds, four electrons would be shared.
