Strontium tends to lose electrons and form a 2+ cation because it is an alkaline earth metal with two valence electrons.
Atoms typically do not lend or borrow electrons from inner shells when forming chemical bonds. Instead, they primarily interact with their outermost electrons, known as valence electrons, to form bonds through sharing, losing, or gaining electrons. Inner shell electrons are usually more tightly bound to the nucleus and are not involved in chemical reactions. Thus, the behavior of electrons in bonding primarily concerns the outermost shells.
Example: if you have a book that I want to use, you lend it to me, I borrow it from you.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.

Nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has 5 electrons in its outer shell. It can lend or borrow a maximum of 3 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, like the noble gas neon. This allows nitrogen to form compounds such as ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+).
The ability of an atom to borrow or lend electrons is determined by its electronegativity. Atoms with higher electronegativity tend to attract electrons towards themselves, while atoms with lower electronegativity are more likely to donate electrons. This tendency influences how atoms form chemical bonds with each other.
When forming compounds, nitrogen can obtain up to three electrons from other atoms.
borrow is a word that is opposite of lend.
Lend is to borrow as harmony is to Discord

Bromine can both lend and accept electrons, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in. As a halogen, bromine typically accepts an electron to complete its octet and achieve a stable electron configuration.

"Lend" is the opposite of 'borrow'.
No, lend means to give to someone; borrow means to have someone give you something that you return after a certain amount of time. For example: I'll lend you my pencil. Can I borrow your pencil?
Aluminium lends it's eletrons, it does not borrow it.
