In the half reaction where an oxygen molecule becomes into two oxide ions, it obtains 4 electrons from the oxidising substance.

There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
The number of electrons transferred in a reaction can be determined by balancing the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. The difference in the number of electrons in the two half-reactions will give you the total number of electrons transferred in the reaction.
How many electrons are taken up by an oxidant in the 1st halfreaction (oxidant reaction),and how many electrons are given free by a reductant in the 2st halfreaction (reductant reaction)
Two total electrons are transferred in the reaction 2NaCl. Two electrons are lost from the sodium but gained for the chloride.
In the reaction as written below, the number of moles of electrons transferred is equal to the coefficient of the electrons in the balanced chemical equation. If you provide the specific reaction, I can help you determine the number of moles of electrons transferred.

-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
In the given reaction, B2H6 reacts with 3 O2 to form B2O3 and 3 H2O. To balance the reaction, 12 electrons are transferred: 12 electrons are lost by the boron atoms in B2H6, and 12 electrons are gained by the oxygen atoms in O2 to form water molecules.
An element's oxidation number indicates the number of electrons that an atom has gained or lost to form a chemical bond. It helps to determine the distribution of electrons in a compound and allows for predicting the behavior of atoms in a chemical reaction.
Nitrogen must gain three electrons.
Usually three will be lost.
