Atoms with 8 valence electrons (or obeying octet rule) have more stability and are generally chemically inert.

Why does the octet rule not always refer to a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons?

The octet rule does not always refer to a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons because some atoms can accommodate more than 8 electrons in their valence shell (expanded octet), such as elements in Period 3 and beyond in the periodic table. Additionally, some molecules, like radicals or species with an odd number of electrons, may not satisfy the octet rule but can still be stable due to resonance or other factors.
