Does N and Br gain or lose electron?
Nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons and form the nitride ion, N3-. Nitrogen atoms also form covalent bonds where they share 3 electrons and do not become ions. Bromine atoms gain 1 electron and form the bromide ion, Br-. Bromine atoms also form covalent bonds when they share 1 electron and do not become ions.

How many electrons must bromine br gain or lose?
Boron can lose 3 electrons from its valence shell that is 2 in 2s & 1 in 2p sub-shell, wheras it cannot gain electron b'coz of its electropositive nature & it has less electron affinity.
