Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
In the short form: elements are striving to completely fill valence shells of electrons to reach a quantumly stable energy state. They react to take electrons away from elements willing to give up electrons or share outer shell electrons with elements they aren't strong enough to steal from.
Group 1 elements, also known as alkali metals, tend to give up electrons and become positive ions due to their low ionization energy and affinity to lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
These are electrically positive objects.
Oh, dude, elements that gain 2 electrons when they combine with another element are found in Group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen group. This includes elements like oxygen, sulfur, and selenium. So, like, when these elements bond with others, they're all like, "I'll take two electrons, thanks!"
The elements in group one and two react so easily because they have only one or two valence electrons, and the non metals, want those electrons. These group elements loose 1 or 2 electron to be stable instead of gaining 6 or 7 to complete the outer shell attain stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.
Thede are unreactive elements.
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
easily gain electrons
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.

The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
