It's a rule that states that atoms tend to react in ways such that they each have 8 electrons in their valence shells - similar to the configuration of electrons in a noble gas like helium.

That only 8 electrons can exist in an energy state

it is the octet rule.every atoms want to be stable and can lose or gain or share the electrons to have 8 electrons in it's outermost shell so that it can have octet fill and will be stable like helium, neon,argon,radon.............
