This is the last valence shell in which if elec5rom is completely field which is called stable
onalchaudhari:
valence shell means outermost orbit of an atom . octet means 8 electrons.octet of electrons in the outermost shell means 8 electrons in the last orbit. such atoms are called inert or stable elements

when a atom have 8 electron in its valance shell then it will be stable; so every atom have tendency to form a bond either it is by accepting electron or donating or by sharing of electrons so that they have octet of electrons in its valence shell.
Valence means the outermost orbit of the electronic configuration,octet means 8, so 8 elections must be present in the outermost orbit to attain octet electronic configuration
