Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains electrons to form ions. However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose electrons to form ions.
the ions react with alkaline soils and produse atoms.
Atoms with eight valence electrons are considered to be stable because they have a full outer electron shell, following the octet rule. These atoms are less likely to react with other atoms to form compounds, as they already have a complete electron configuration.
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.
When sodium atoms react with iodine atoms, they undergo a redox reaction to form sodium iodide. Sodium atoms lose an electron to form Na+ ions, while iodine atoms gain an electron to form I- ions. These ions then combine to form sodium iodide crystals.
Ionic bond occurs when calcium atoms react with oxygen atoms. Calcium donates two electrons to oxygen to form Ca2+ ions and O2- ions, resulting in an attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Ions, charged atoms
Two atoms of iron are needed to completely react with three molecules of oxygen to form two molecules of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Each iron atom will lose three electrons to form Fe3+ ions, while each oxygen molecule will gain two electrons to form O2- ions.

Because they want to.
When in elemental form, atoms of sodium lose electrons to atoms of chlorine, forming ions (this occurs in a 1:1 ratio). These ions are attracted by the electric difference between them and form a salt.
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
