Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
sodium must lose 1 electron, helium is a noble gas it is in group 8 check your periodic table, sufide ion must gain 2 electrons
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
It will lose 2 electrons.

Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
Se will gain electrons
Lithium is in group 1 of the Periodic How_many_electrons_must_the_lithium_atom_give_up_to_become_stable, so it must lose one electron for it to attain a full outermost energy level and become stable.The charge will then be positive (+).
Si ( Silicon) is in the same group as carbon. As a consequence it has four outer electrons. These four electrons covalently bond to other atoms, in the same manner as carbon. Si does NOT gain or lose electrons in the sense of ionisation.
sodium must lose 1 electron, helium is a noble gas it is in group 8 check your periodic table, sufide ion must gain 2 electrons
it will lose 3 electrons
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
It will lose 2 electrons.

Silicon gains 4 electrons.
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
