The octet rule states that the formula for a compound is derived by Group of answer choices having a net charge of magnitude 8. using a minimum of 8 atoms. using exactly 8 bonds in the formula unit. having all atoms or ions get noble gas electron configurations.

Atoms bonds with 8 electrons

Explanation:

Octet rule is a chemical rule that shows elements in main group bond so that each atom have 8 valence electrons in the outmost shell which make them to have similar electronic configuration with Noble gases This is important because the sharing of electrons make atoms to have full shell. Atoms with electrons not up to 8 react with more stable compound.

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
