Yes it does - from the oxygen atom as well as it's own.

What type of reaction happens when a metal gain oxygens?
It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. The metal loses electrons to become positively charged (it is oxidized) and the oxygen gains those electrons to become negatively charged (it is reduced). You end up with a metal oxide.
Why does roman numerals be in MnO 5?
Metals are oxidized, ie they lose electrons. An oxidized metal will bond with another element. The roman numerals signify how many electrons the metal lost which is called an oxidation number.
How can tell if an element has been oxidized or reduced in a reaction?
Oxidation involve loss of electrons and reduction involve gain of electrons.
What does a molecule that has been oxidized have?
Well it has less electrons than it had before. That is the definition of oxidation. The loss of electrons is oxidation. The gain of electrons is reduction.
Do elements in the non-metal family gain or lose electrons?
Actually, non metals always gain electrons
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
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.
Reactions in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
What happens to a substance when it is oxidized?
It loses electrons LEO the lion says GER Loss of Electrons = oxidation, Gain of Electrons = Reduction Loss of Gain of electrons Reduction electrons oxidation (leo)
What is a reducer in an experiment I'm talking about a reducer like glycerol?
A reducer or reducing agent is something that can lose electrons and be oxidized so that another compound can gain electrons and become reduced. For example: glycerol can be oxidized to glyceraldehyde allowing for NAD+ to be reduced to NADH.
Does lanthanum Gain or lose electrons during bonding?
This is a metal so it will lose its valence electrons.
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
