Rule of the octet is used in chemistry to indicate the tendencies of the atoms when they complete the energy level to obtain stability. Covalent bonds are what occurs when two atoms join and reach the stable octet. They are related because through this union electrons are shared and the covalent bond is produced and the rule of the octet is given to show the tendency of this union.
