Want this question answered?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
yes it is, it might be useful to know OILRIG: oxidation is loss , reduction is gain (of electrons)
The loss or gain of electrons
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.

There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
it involves loss of electrons and gain of electrons at the same time
Selenium can gain 1 electron or loss 2, 4, 6 electrons.
