No, oxygen is much more likely to collect additional electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 of the 8 orbitals in its valence shell and only needs two more electrons to be stable. Also, oxygen is highly electronegative, so even when it is sharing electrons with another atom it tends to pull the shared electrons to itself and away from the other atom.

Which element will give its electron away?

An element that is a metal is more likely to give away its electrons because metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions to achieve a stable electron configuration. Sodium and potassium are common examples of metals that readily give away electrons.

Does Francium give away electrons easily or hold on to them tightly?

Francium gives away electrons very easily due to its location in the alkali metal group, which makes its outer electron very loosely bound. This makes Francium highly reactive and likely to form ions by losing its single valence electron.
