Can anyone explain to me the octet rule in detail with examples my teacher didn't do the greatest job of making us understand.

In chemistry, the octet rule explains how atoms of different elements combine to form molecules. In a chemical formula, the octet rule strongly governs the number of atoms for each element in a molecule; for example, calcium fluoride is CaF2 because two fluorine atoms and one calcium satisfy the rule. Hope this helps
