Yes I think so
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
nitrogen
It is going to lose electrons
halogens, obviously! these gain electrons the most easiest since they are "hyperactive" as I would like to say.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
nitrogen
They will loose electrons.
The elements that gain two electrons when they react are the ones found in group 14 of the periodic table. Oxygen is a good example of such elements.
Elements in Group 18 already have an octet of electrons, which is a full outer shell of 8 electrons. An octet of electrons makes the element stable, so it does not need to react with any other elements to gain or lose electrons.
It is going to lose electrons
Basically when elements react they either gain or lose electrons until their outer shell has eight (apart from helium and hydrogen). When elements react and gain or lose electrons they become ions as the number of protons is no longer proportional to that of electrons. elements with a large or low amount of electrons (1 or 7) on their outer shell react easily E.g the alkali metals (group 1 of the periodic table) have only one electron and so must be preserved in oil or they will react with even the air in the atmosphere.
Tetravalent means having 4 valence electrons. The elements in the 14th group are tetravalent. They do not lose or gain electrons. they gain electrons.
Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.
halogens, obviously! these gain electrons the most easiest since they are "hyperactive" as I would like to say.
