What is the name of an element that lends electrons?

Firstly I would like to correct you on your grammar. The question should in fact ask 'which' element gains 5 electrons. The question is also flawed form the start because more than one element gains 5 electrons. All elements in group 3 of the Periodic Table have 5 spaces in the outer shell. All elements want to feel complete, and the maximum amount of elements on the outer shell is 8. Therefore 3 + 5 = 8. So hey presto this is my answer to you. ~K :)
