Cs (cesium) is in group I of the Periodic Table, and has 1 valence electron. This is very easy to lose, and so Cs loses this one electron to become the cesium cation, Cs^1+
they must gain one more electron in order to have noble gas electron configuration
two electron should be lost
two electrons lost

It must have a charge. That is, gain or lose an electron from it's neutral state. H is a hydrogen atom. H+ is a hydrogen ion. Cl- is a chloride ion. (note the "ide" is often used to indicate a negative charge. H- is known as a hydride.)
It must gain one electron to achieve a noble gas electronic structure, just like other halogens.

Selenium should gain two electrons and lose six electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration.
Bromine must gain one electron
It must lose 1 electron
