The noble gases usually have an octet on the periodic table. They have a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive.
When a compound is formed between an element from group 2 (such as x) and an element from group 17 (such as y), they will likely combine in a 1:2 ratio to form an ionic compound. The Group 2 element will lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet, becoming a 2+ cation, while the Group 17 element will gain 1 electron to achieve a stable octet, becoming a 1- anion. This results in the formation of a compound with a 1:2 ratio of cations to anions.
Noble gases have a complete octet and are stable because they have a full outer electron shell. They do not chemically bond with other atoms because they are already in a stable configuration.
Main-group elements such as boron, beryllium, and sulfur can occasionally break the octet rule by having fewer or more than eight valence electrons in their outermost shell. Boron and beryllium are known to form stable compounds with only six or even four electrons in their valence shell, while sulfur can expand its octet to accommodate more than eight electrons.
The elements of group VI A require two electrons to complete the octet so they mostly form -2 ions as O-2, S-2
A group of 16 is called a sextet.
Well, darling, a group of 5 singers is called a quintet, 6 singers is a sextet, 7 singers is a septet, 8 singers is an octet, and 9 singers is a nonet. So, pick your number and start harmonizing!
A group of six people is a sextet. A group of six babies born together is sextuplets.

The different types of musical ensembles are trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, septet, and octet.
Generically an ensemble is a group of things (usually but not always musicians). In music a ensemble can also be a:- duet, trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, septet, octet, nonet, etc.
A sextet. TEEHEE!
A sextet is a group of 6 things. I think you are referring to Hexagon, which has 6 sides.

A group of eight anything is called an "octet".
