to provide stability to the atom
Explanation:
it is not always necessary that 8 electons will give stability to the atom that is octet rule is not always true but in compounds like SF6 sulphur has 12 electrons but it is stable

Answer:
The shells of an atom cannot accommodate more than 8 electrons, even if it has a capacity to accommodate more electrons. This is a very important rule called the Octet rule. According to this rule, atoms gain, loose or share electrons to achieve the stable configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.
