The rule of duet refers to the first fiveelementsofthe periodic table. They are most stable when the 1s orbital is filled with two (duet) electrons. Hydrogen looks to gain one electron, Lithium, Beryllium and Boron look to lose 1,2, or 3 electrons respectively in order to have a filled outer shell like Helium.
The rule of octet refers to the filling of the s and p orbital with eight (octet) electrons in order to become stable like a noble gass^2 p^6.Elements look to lose or gain electronsin order to be like a noble gas. In doingso non-metals take on electrons and become negative anions while metals tend to lose electrons and become positive cations.

In octet rule the outer shell should contain 8 electrons
duplet rule states that when an element gets 2 electrons in its valence or last shell it has achieved a stable electronic configuration .
