Yes, atoms with an octet are stable and less likely to react with other elements because they have a full outer shell. Octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, making them more stable.
In Group 13 elements (boron group), electrons are most likely to be lost to achieve a stable electron configuration. They have three electrons in the outer energy level and tend to lose those three electrons to form a 3+ ion.
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, like the noble gases. Representative elements either gain or lose electrons to achieve this stable electron configuration, becoming ions with a charge that corresponds to the number of electrons gained or lost.
The octet rule states that all elements form ions to reach 8 valance electrons, or the nearest noble gas. If an element is a noble gas, it already has 8 valance electrons, therefore does not need to form ions to bond with other ions, thus becoming un-reactive.
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation

Octet rule refers to the tendency of formations of noble gases to appear with the addition of eight protons - electrons in arranging elements in a table. The first noble gas being Helium => addition of eight protons => 2 electrons in a S orbital & 6 electrons in P orbitals.

Basically anything with less than 4 electrons in it's outer shell will tend to lose them. If they have exactly four (the carbon group elements) its tougher to tell. But anything before the carbon group elements (not including the transition metals, they have their own rules) will lose electrons.

All non-metals have either 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their octet which makes them suitable to gain electrons to achieve stability. Hence it is difficult for electrons to lose electrons.

The six elements most likely to share or lose two electrons with other atoms are group 16; oxygen and sulfur, and group 17; fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. These elements have six and seven valence electrons respectively, making it energetically favorable for them to either share two electrons to complete an octet or lose one electron to achieve a stable configuration.
It is necessary to gain/lose electrons.
No, metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full octet.
