Yes.
Iodine tends to gain one electron when it forms an ion.
Gain, or loss, or sharing of electrons with other atoms.
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Tungsten generally loses electrons when forming bonds, it is a metal
Strontium typically loses electrons in a chemical change because it belongs to Group 2 of the periodic table, which contains elements that tend to lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
You wouldn't expect strontium to gain electrons in a chemical change.
Barium loses electrons to obtain a stable octet, like any other metal.
No, iodine typically gains electrons to form the iodide ion (I^-) in chemical reactions, as it has a tendency to pick up one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
No, iodine is not an oxidizing agent. It typically acts as a reducing agent, meaning it tends to gain electrons rather than lose them in chemical reactions.
Atoms have a negative charge when they gain electrons during chemical changes. Atoms are a basic unit of matter, and everything is made of atoms.

Iodine is a nonmetal because it lacks metallic properties such as conductivity and malleability. It exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural state and tends to gain electrons when forming chemical bonds, similar to other nonmetals.
