Most atoms have the ability to lose electrons, given the conditions are favorable, e.g. in a chemical reaction, but the ones that loose their electrons easiest are the ones with only a few electrons in their outer shell, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which only have 1 and two electrons, respectively.

Which takes place during a redox reaction?
Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
How many electrons will be gained or lost by scandium?
Usually three will be lost.
Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?
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.

Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
What happens to substance when it is oxidized?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons. The oxidizing agent is reduced. The reducing agent is oxidized. Cu goes from 0 to +2, it lost electrons S went from +6 to +4, it gained electrons I went from 0 to +5, it lost electrons N went from +5 to +4, it gained electrons.
What is gained in a chemical reaction?
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 is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
When electrons cannot be gained or lost they are?
Shared
Silicon how many electrons are gained or lost?
it has gain 4 electrons
How many electrons are gained when going from Al to Al3 plus?
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
What happens when a substance change states?
When a substance changes state, Energy within the substance is gained or lost, but the composition is unchanged.
How many electrons will be gained or lost by scandium?
Usually three will be lost.
Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
Will chlorine gain number of electrons gained or lost?
Chlorine gain electrons.
