The octet rule is based on two principles:
1. Stability of completely filled atomic orbitals
2. Electrostatic affinity of oppositely charged particles
Most atoms will either gain, or lose (depending on the position on the table), electrons to obtain the noble "gas configuration" or "octet". This is works well for atoms who are two or three spaces away from a noble gas on the Periodic Table, since these atoms will only need to gain two or three electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
As we get farther from the noble gases, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to gain more electrons, because the unbalanced charge that results from the additional electrons destabilizes the atom and the energy required to add that next electron becomes higher with each addition until it is actually more energetically favorable to lose electrons (this is why some species exist predominantly as ions).
In the specific case of hydrogen, we notice that it has only one positively charged proton. Since electrons bear equal but opposite charges to protons, it is now understandable that H could host only a few extra electrons while maintaining appreciable stability.
Helium can be analyzed the same way. In this case, we also note that Helium is in the noble gas column of the periodic table, so it must display qualities of a noble gas itself. He is, in fact, a very stable monoatomic molecule and exists naturally as He gas at in standard conditions.
As H and He has K shell they can accommodate only two electrons only,so unable to be octet. The magic numbers are-2,8,8,18,18,32
Helium has completely filled s orbital. Hence it is stable and unreactive.
Helium's only shell is still full. The 1st shell, Made up of a 1s atomic orbital. can only hold 2 electrons. Making it a noble gas.
Yes. matter is anything that occupies space and has volume. Helium gas will obey this
They are generally stable as they obey octet rule
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. Their valence orbitals are completely filled, have 8 electrons and obey octet rule (stable electronic configuration). Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements), they do generally do not form compounds and are mono atomic.

I know Hydrogen and Helium for sure, not sure about the other elements. The noble gases.
because they have small atomic masses and He has no intrmolecular forces in it

you always obey their commands

he got mad and mad circe s***k his d**k.
Atoms react to gain more stability and each element tend to obey octet rule. One atom react with other atoms and form different type of bonds either by complete transfer of electrons or by sharing of electrons, thereby trying to gain more stability by obeying octet rule.
when an atom has more/less than 8 electrons. For example hydrogen and helium only have two (as they have only a 1s subshell and no 1p) Boron is also trivalent so it forms compounds to get 6 electrons not 8 ie BrF3 Transition metals also obey a 18 electron rule as they have d orbitals
