No it does not.
Energy
They either gain electrons or lose electrons (which ever one that requires the least)
Group 17, halogens
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.

Group 17, halogens
Group 15
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.

to become stable
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
they are ions
