Pick the correct answer! 1. Why does the octet rule apply primarily to main-group elements, not to transition metals? a. The octet rule states that main-group elements tend to react so that they attain a halogen electron configuration. b. The octet rule states that transition metal-group elements tend to react so that they attain a noble gas electron configuration. c. The octet rule states that main-group elements tend to react so that they attain a ionic electron configuration. d. The octet rule states that main-group elements tend to react so that they attain a noble gas electron configuration.
I think it would be b. The octet rule states that transition metal group elements tend to react so that they attain a noble gas electron configuration.
