Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion.
Nitrogen can gain 3 electrons to achieve a full outer shell with 8 electrons, or lose 5 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas neon.
Se will gain electrons
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
it will lose 3 electrons
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
Sodium has 11 electrons, and one valence electron To achieve noble gas configurations, it would have to gain 7 electrons, for a total of 18 like Argon has. But this gain is impossible. So Sodium loses one electron to look like Neon which has 10.

It will lose 2 electrons.
Silicon gains 4 electrons.
Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
