Atoms in column 7 of the Periodic Table have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
Atoms are most stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell.
So atoms of elements in column 7 have a strong attraction for 1 electron.
Flourine being the smallest atom in that column has the strongest attraction for 1 electron.

What types of bonding gain or lose electrons?
Ionic
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
When atoms gain or lose electrons we call the resulting atom an ion. What are the two different types of ions and how are they formed?
The two types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion, while anions are formed when atoms gain electrons, resulting in a negatively charged ion.
How many electrons does As to gain noble gas configuration?
it should gain 3 electrons
How many electrons must phosphorus p gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
What number of electrons must sulfur gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Sulfur must gain two electrons.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
