That depends on the reaction, and the gain of electrons is refereed to as reduction.

How many protons ans electrons does O2- have?
Oxygen is the eighth element in the periodic table.8 protons and 8 electrons. The no of protons will always be the same as the no of electrons unless in witch case it would be referred to as being ionised or a free radical.
An element such as Magnesium Mg with two outer electrons would have a charge of?
Any atom of any element has no net electrical charge. The number of "outer" electrons is irrelevant, because the charge of all the electrons is balanced by an equal number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. However, the number of outer electrons is highly relevant to the charge of the most likely ion formed from an atom of an element by chemical reaction: Magnesium and other atoms with two outer electrons almost always form cations with 2 net positive charges when the atoms react chemically with some atom of another element, because these two outer electrons are less tightly bound to the atomic nucleus than any other electrons of the atom.
An element has six valence electrons available for bonding. Which group of the periodic table does this element most likely belong to?
It would belong to group XVI, the group with oxygen.
What is oxidation number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
Why would you expect lithium and sulfur to have different chemical and physical properties?
Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
Which elements would be most likley to lose electrond in a chemical bond?
Li, or lithium, is the element most likely to lose electrons in a chemical bond. Lithium has 1 valence electron.
What is the oxide number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
Which element would you expect to gain one electron in a chemical reaction?
Metals are the elements that usually lose electrons in their chemical reactions. This is because they have few electrons in their outermost shells which are easily lost.
If all element had atoms with a stable number of electrons what effect would this have a chemical reaction?
Chemical Reactions would not exist, since unstable electrons are needed to start a Chemical Reaction, All the molecules would be stable, so they would not need to undergo change to become more stable.
Does the amount of protons an element has affect chemical bonding?
Yes and no; the number of protons determine the valance number of electrons. The valence level of electrons and how full/empty it is largely determines an elements chemical behavior. I would say that valence electrons are the main determinant, but that is predetermined by protons.
Which element would be more likely to pull in electrons during the formation of a compound?
The more electronegative element. Nonmetals have enough electronegativity advantage over metals to do this.
What are valence electrons and what do they determine?
They determine many things. They can be used to predice hybridization, determine octet, be used to assign formal charges. The simplest answer would be for a intro to chem class, they determine the number of electrons in the atom's "outer ring"
What is the chemical symbol for element with charge of 18?
There is no element with a "charge of 18". Charges are determined by electrons, so for an atom to have a charge of ±18, it would have to lose or gain 18 electrons - something an atom wouldn't do. Perhaps you mean atomic number of 18, which would be argon or Ar.

Which type of element donates the electron?
Fluorine is the element that would most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond Metals ususally give electrons, and nonmentals usually gain electrons.
Why does a element have a plus 2 charge?
An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.
