xenon
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
It has 2 electrons in the first shell, and 8 in the second as it gains an electron to form an ion so the configuration is 2,8.
Chlorine gains 1 electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon.
Iodine gains 1 electron to fill it's shell.
Br typically gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than losing electrons.

Two electrons
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
Yes, it can. When the element loses electron, the oxidation number increases and when it gains electron, the oxidation number decreases.
1s2 2s2 2p6 is the electron configuration of the fluoride ion. It has a complete octet and is isoelectronic with neon. Before it becomes an ion, it is 1s2 2s2 2p5 Then it gains an electron and has a negative charge.
An element can either gain or lose electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. Such an electron configuration gives an atom of an element a full outer shell, thereby making that element's ion nonreactive. Metals tend to lose electrons, and become cations, whereas nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and become anions. The amount of electrons an element gains of loses is based on the group/family the element is found in on the Periodic Table.
