it doesn't do either. its in Group 8, so its stable and it realistically won't form ions.

Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
Why are sodium and fluorine very reactive while neon shows almostno reactivity?
Neon has full valence shell so does not need to react to gain or lose electrons while and potassium does that is why neon shows no reactivity.
What is the oxidation number of neon?
The oxidation number of Neon is 0. It does not want to gain or lose any electrons. It already has a full octet, therefore it remains at 0.
Oxidation state of neon?
Neon always has an oxidation state of 0 as it does not form compounds.
What is the formula of the hydride formed by neon?
There would be no reaction between these elements because Neon is a noble gas and already has an octet of electrons which makes it stable. It does not need to react with any other elements to gain or lose electrons.
Why does neon not gain electrons?

Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose

The oxidation number of Neon is 0. It does not want to gain or lose any electrons. It already has a full octet, therefore it remains at 0.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
How many electrons will phosphorus gain or lose in forming an ion?
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Oxidation state of neon?
Neon always has an oxidation state of 0 as it does not form compounds.
