zero group
it doesn't do either. its in Group 8, so its stable and it realistically won't form ions.
Al, Ga, and In each lose 3 electrons. Its easy to remember, because there are three of them and they each lose three electrons. The other elements in group 13 vary
It will not lose any electron. As it is a noble gas (Group 18 ) it will not either gain or lose or share any electrons. It has a completely filled shell. So there is no need for losing electrons. They are also called as 'Inert Gases'.
A full outer electron shell. Atoms tend to be more stable when they have a full valence shell, which typically contains eight electrons. This stability makes it less likely for the atom to either lose or gain electrons.
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!

Group 13 has an oxidation number of 3+ so it is more likely to lose electrons than gain them, but it is possible that it gains them
To determine if Ba will gain or lose electrons, look at its position on the periodic table. Barium is in Group 2, so it typically loses 2 electrons to form a 2+ cation.
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.

Group 13 elements tend to lose three valence electrons to achieve a full outer shell configuration. They typically form 3+ ions by losing these three electrons.

Lose
All non-metals have either 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their octet which makes them suitable to gain electrons to achieve stability. Hence it is difficult for electrons to lose electrons.
Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of electrons.
