According to the electronic theory of chemical bonding, developed independently by `Kӫssel` and Lewis, the atoms of representative elements can combine either by the transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another (gaining or losing) or by the sharing of valence electrons in order to have an octet in their ______________. This is known as octet rule.
