Because as we know first that positive attracts to neutral, so protons and neutrons are attracted together and remain together in the nucleus. So there is no chance protons or neutrons can be given up because of attraction forces.
Whereas electrons on the other hand are negatives and repel each other and whiz around the atom. So elements typically give up electrons because electrons want to stay away from each other because of the strong repulsion forces. Hence they are given typically by the elements.
Thede are unreactive elements.

electronegativity. this is the strength of the pull of electrons to the element, as opposed to the tendency of metallic elements to be electropostive, that is to give up electrons.
easily gain electrons
no
The elements that typically give up electrons are the ones which have the lowest ionization energy. The valence electron which holds on loosely will be the one to be given out easily.
Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
