Since hydrogen has one electron, it can either gain it or lose it to form cation or anion to achieve stable electronic configuration.

It can do both - acids contain H+ and hydrides contain H-
wiki user is soooooo smart :)
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
It loses electrons.
it gains electrons.
Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of electrons.
An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion
Since platinum is a metal it will tend to lose electrons.
Hydrogen will either lose 1 electron to form a hydrogen cation (H+) or gain 1 electron to form a hydrogen anion (H-).
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
That is correct. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms rather than the transfer of electrons, as seen in ionic bonds. The atoms involved in a covalent bond share electrons in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
Lose
Helium is already stable. Hydrogen should gain or lose one electron to be stable.
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Se will gain electrons
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
