The "octect" rule is mainly about the amount of levels within each electron shell in an atom. For example, the first can contain up to 2, and the second up to 8.

Why it is said that outermost shell should contain 8 electrons?

According to the Octect Rule, an atom is most stable when its outermost shell has 8 electrons. So atoms try to attain 8 electrons in their outer shell.

Two electrons.


What group of elements satisfies the octect rule without forming compounds?

Noble gases satisfy the octet rule without forming compounds because they already have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive.


Is an atom with a complete octec chemmically stable?

Typically an atom with a complete octect on its valence shell is chemically stable. There are exceptions to this rule, as with any other. The nonmetals below the row of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluorine typically accept more. The rule of thumb is that a stable atom is one that has eight electrons on its valence (or outermost) shell.
