Question:

Suppose that the Pauli Exclusion Principle were somehow changed to allow three electrons per orbital rather than two.
(a) Instead of an octet, how many outer-shell electrons would be needed for a noble-gas electron configuration?
(b) How many electrons would be shared in a covalent bond?
(c) Give the electron configuration, and draw an electron-dot structure for element X with Z = 12.
(d) Draw an electron-dot structure for the molecule X2.
