For Mg to attain a pseud noble gas formation it must lose two electrons, becoming the ion Mg2+.
It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
Usually three will be lost.
They are gained.
two electrons lost

Ca needs to lose 2 electrons to become Ca+2
Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
Electrons are the ones gained or lost in a chemical reaction. Electrons are gained in oxidation and lost through the chemical reaction known as reduction.
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
Shared
it has gain 4 electrons
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
Usually three will be lost.
They are gained.
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
