If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
Se will gain electrons
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
it should gain 3 electrons
Sulfur must gain two electrons.
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
yes it is, it might be useful to know OILRIG: oxidation is loss , reduction is gain (of electrons)
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Nonmetals gain electrons.
