When I was just a kid there was a thing I learned in school,
I learned it back in chemistry it’s called the octet rule,
“Octet” stands for eight ___________in an _________ _________,
and if you aren’t following you soon will know this well,
We’re talking about _________, and making molecules,
And if you’re gonna understand you’ve gotta learn the rules, so learn the
Octet rule. Learn the octet rule.

Learn the octet rule.  Learn the octet rule.
Come on all you boys and girls, it’s really kind of cool,
Just learn the octet rule.
Now all the things you see, anywhere or anyplace,
These things are known as _________which has mass and takes up space.
The building block of matter, “atom” is its name,
And linking up these atoms is the octet rule’s game,
So come on all you boys and girls, just you wait and see,
How the ________rule explains your chemistry.

Though atoms are the building blocks there’s smaller parts still:
Electrons, __________, neutrons you can learn them if you will.
The protons and the neutrons they do form the nucleus,
The neutron’s charge is neutral and the proton’s charge is ______,
And a _____________electron is in orbit far away,
And learnin’ ’bout electrons is the lesson for today.

The electrons and the protons in numbers equal out,
If the neutrons slightly different it’s nothin’ to worry ’bout,
‘Cause all chemical properties in electrons reside,
And remember those electrons they orbit way outside,
They just don’t __________anywhere, but in ___________shells,
These shells might be called energy levels and you should learn this when you learn the octet rule

 

[l]negative

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

[l]orbit

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Great!

[l]plus

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Excellent!

[l]protons

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Good!

[l]specific

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

Each energy level has a set _________, to hold all those electrons,
Here’s what the rule will be.
The first level holds two, the second it holds eight,
The third it holds eighteen, so now we’re gonna say it,
That a hydrogen atom with electron only one,
Will put it in the first level (you know we’ve just begun)

In an atom with electrons nine, it’s ___________you should know,
The first two go in level one and orbit to and fro’,
Nine minus __________leaves seven electrons that need a home,
These seven go in level two where they can freely roam,
And with fourteen electrons they’d break down two, __________, and four,
This happens to be silicon, you’re gonna learn some more about the

 

[l]capacity

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Excellent!

[l]eight

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Good!

[l]fluorine

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

[l]two

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Excellent!

Though atoms may be tiny, they feel emotions too,
They can be glad or sadly, just like me and you,
If its ____________energy level’s full that atom will be glad,
But if that’s level’s less than full that atom will be sad,
And right here is the octet rule, so simple that it’s great,
Each atom wants an outer shell filled with electrons eight.

And this is how Mom nature, her compounds did create,
Atoms trade or share electrons ’til their outer shells have eight.
If an atom trades electrons it gains a __________, minus or plus,
Compare the number of electrons to protons in the __________,
This newly charged up atom, “________” is its name,
So trades are called ionic bonding in this octet game.

 

[l]charge

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Great!

[l]ion

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

[l]nucleus

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Great!

[l]outer

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Good!

Sometimes instead of trading, atoms electrons ________,
It’s called ____________bonding and filled with loving care,
Atoms which share electrons combine as __________,
And in this combination they obey the octet rule,
Take for example water, H2O we say,
Two hydrogens one oxygen combined the octet way.

There are but few exceptions, to these bonding rules,
There just the smallest atoms, now, and what they do is cool,
Their outer shells are filled, with electrons only two.
So they don’t need a full octet, a mere duet will do,
A ___________, one electron makes it fret,
But it’s as happy as can be when left with a duet.
So learn the …

[l]covalent

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Excellent!

[l]hydrogen

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

[l]molecules

[fx] No, that’s not correct. Please try again.

[f*] Correct!

[l]share

[fx] No. Please try again.

[f*] Great!
