Does calcium give away elctron and gain electron?
No, it can not do both at the same time.
What electron will hydrogen give away?
none
Why are the halogens so reactive?
They only need 1 electron to gain a full outer shell as the Halogens are Group VII. They are very similar to the Group I metals, which, in retrospect, need to lose/give away 1 electron to achieve the same goal. This is typically why they are so reactive.
How many electrons will chlorine gas gain or lose when it become an ion?
A chlorine atom will gain one electron when forming an ion. That will give the ion a charge of 1-.
Properties of halogen family?
Halogens are one electron (on the valence shell) away from becoming noble gases. Therefore, they have very high electronegativities, which is their ability to attract electrons. They are extremely reactive, because they want to gain that extra electron. They react most readily with the alkali metals, because they have one electron on their valence shell that they are very willing to give up.

Is the electron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?

Atom with low ionization energy give up their outer valence electron with ease?
The ionization energy tells us about the energy required (and thus the ease) with which an atom/ion can give away an electron (in the outermost shell). So, atoms with low ionization energies ( lowest for Caesium) give away the electron with ease
How is the electron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical change Show at least 2 examples or illustrations.?

How many electrons must bromine br gain or lose?
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.
What is a polar compound?
A molecule with opposite and unequally chareges charges on opposite ends such as water. (H2O) It either wants to add an electron or wants to give away an electron to be more stable.
Which type of element donates the electron?
Fluorine is the element that would most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond Metals ususally give electrons, and nonmentals usually gain electrons.
