Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains electrons to form ions.

However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose electrons to form ions.

How much oxygen in grams will be required to react with 0.5 mole of aluminium?

Three atoms of oxygen are required to react with each two atoms of aluminum to form the most common product of reaction between oxygen and aluminum. Therefore, 0.75 mole of oxygen atoms will be required to react with 0.5 mole of aluminum atoms. The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999; therefore, the mass will be (0.75)(15.999) = 12 grams of oxygen, to the maximum possibly justified number of significant digits.
