- The octet rule states that an atom is most stable when there are eight electrons in its valence shell. Atoms with less than eight electrons tend to satisfy the duet rule, having two electrons in their valence shell. ... Both ions form because the ion is more stable than the atom due to the octet rule.

Answer:
The tendency of every atom is to form stable electronic configuration. ions have a stable electronic configuration with octet (8 electrons ) or duplet (2 electrons) structure. therefore they do not gain , lose or share electrons. on the other hand atoms (except noble gases) have less than 8 electrons in their outermost shell and hence take part in chemical reaction to attain stability. So ions are more stable than atoms
