Boron can lose 3 electrons from its valence shell that is 2 in 2s & 1 in 2p sub-shell, wheras it cannot gain electron b'coz of its electropositive nature & it has less electron affinity.
sodium must lose 1 electron, helium is a noble gas it is in group 8 check your periodic table, sufide ion must gain 2 electrons
Br typically gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than losing electrons.
The neutral atom has 35 electrons.
Eight electrons in the 2nd shell of Br- This is also the number of electrons in the 2nd shell of I-, Cl- and even F- !
Bromine will gain one electron to become Br-
I would expect the metals potassium, barium, and copper to lose electrons during chemical reactions. I would expect the nonmetals fluorine and sulfur to gain or share electrons depending of the chemical reaction.
Halogens have 7 valence electrons, in order to become a noble gas you need 8 so instead of losing electrons, it would be easier just to gain 1. That would make Halogens a negative 1 If you do the dot structure you can see that there is only room to gain 1 electron when forming a bond.

Nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons and form the nitride ion, N3-. Nitrogen atoms also form covalent bonds where they share 3 electrons and do not become ions. Bromine atoms gain 1 electron and form the bromide ion, Br-. Bromine atoms also form covalent bonds when they share 1 electron and do not become ions.
Bromine gain one electron and become Br-.
Oxidation is loss of electrons and reduction is gain of electrons. In this case the Cl2 molecule is changed to two Cl- ions by gaining electrons, so the Cl2 is reduced. The Br in the NaBr salt is in the form of Br- ions. The Br- ions are changed to neutral Br atoms (a Br2 molecule) by losing electrons and so are oxidised.

Boron, Krypton,Neon, and Radon Krypton, Neon and Radon do not gain electrons. Because an atom wants to have eight electrons in their valence shell or their outermost shell, and Krypto, Neon and Radon are Noble Gases which already have eight in their valence shells, so they don't lose or gain electrons. And as for Boron it want's to gain 5 electrons because it only has three in its valence shell.
Br typically gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than losing electrons.
To be neutral, Bromine (atomic symbol Br) has 35 electrons. Ions have more or less.
The neutral atom has 35 electrons.
