If by octect you mean the outermost shell, then yes.. that's why they're noble gasses (inert)
They have a full octet of electrons.
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
They have a full octet of electrons
A full octet makes the noble gases nonreactive.

The noble gases (group 18/VIIIA/0) are naturally occurring elements that have a full valence shell with eight valence electrons (an octet), except for helium which has two valence electrons (a duet). This makes these elements very stable and very nonreactive.
Elements which have d-orbitals (i. e. n=3 or higher) can form compounds with an expanded octet. Some examples are;Phosphorous Pentachloride PCl5Sulfur Hexafluoride SF6Dichloro Heptoxide Cl2O7
Noble gases differ because they obtain a full valence electrons of 8 on the outer shell. OCTET RULE: states that every element aspires to be a noble gas and have a full valence level.
