The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.
In the ionic case they achieve the noble gas shell configuration by either a gain or loss of electrons. When atoms other than hydrogen form covalent bonds, an octet is accomplished by sharing.
