Scandium (Sc), which has an atomic number of 21, can lose three electrons from its outermost shell, typically forming a +3 oxidation state. It typically does not gain electrons due to its position in the Periodic Table and its tendency to form metallic bonds. Thus, scandium primarily loses electrons rather than gaining them.
