Something important to note is that the "rules" that we make are formed from underlying forces, for example Newtons third law isn't just a thing that's that way just because it's because of how electron replusions causes equal and opposite reactions , chemistry isn't ruled by octet rule, its ruled by electromagnetic attraction so there always new discoverys on the horizon
Keep this in mind when I discuss the Octet Rule. I merely referred to it as a rule because that’s how it’s typically called, but you are right. We make these rules off of observations, but rules are meant to be broken.
@TheChemNerd44 yes it makes things always interesting as there always need things to discover more deeply I mean currently we cannot even observe atomic things directly without disturbing systems by some obersvations (like a photon) so imagine how much we can discover when we develop more techines of observation and many other advances, there's a world ahead of us

The octate rule is more like an sugestion for the majority of atoms, it is just really good for carbon making it still useful

Very intriguing! 👍
Thank you for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hmm, what are the implications of this for Bio-nuclear power generation @chemnerd44?
I don't have the faintest idea...
2:12 sigma bond
Are you able to post a link to the paper where this is discussed?
Will do! I'll link it in the description later today.
