How many electrons will krypton gain or lose in forming an ion?

It can't. Krypton is a noble gas, which means that all of its valence shells are filled with electrons. It doesn't want to be overfilled, nor does it want to be missing any. Though there are laboratory experiments making some types of ions, but it is very difficult and quick. You won't be seeing any ions of krypton made naturally.

Would beryllium tend to lose two electrons or gain six when forming bonds?
Beryllium would tend to lose its two electrons when forming a bond because it is easier to lose its two valence electrons rather than gain an additional five in order to obtain a full outer shell.

Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).
