Best Answer

sodium (Na)

Sodium atoms lose one electron when reacting with a nonmetal.

Chlorine atoms gain an electron when reacting with a metal, or share an electron when reacting with other nonmetals.

Aluminum loses three electrons when reacting with a nonmetal.

Assuming that ze is supposed to be Xe, which is the noble gas xenon, which undergoes very few reactions and definitely does not lose an electron when it does.

What element that will most easily lose an electron.?

The Alkali Metals, which are the elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, each have one lone electron in their valence shell. And each of these elements wants to get rid of that single electron. These metals, which include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium, are the most likely to lose electrons.
