3 electrons
Krypton is a noble gas and need not lose electrons. It is already stable.
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
A species (element, cation or anion) should have eight valence electrons to have a noble gas electronic configuration. However element upto atomic number 4 may have 2 valence electrons and attain the electronic configuration of helium noble gas.
Calcium has to lose 2 electrons to form noble gas configuration.
Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. To attain a noble gas configuration, Mg would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as a noble gas (like neon). This would result in Mg forming a +2 ion.
Krypton is a noble gas and need not lose electrons. It is already stable.
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)
4 but it will need energy, so carbon gain 4 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
An atom of silicon needs to gain 4 electrons in its 3p sublevel to attain the noble gas electron configuration of argon, the noble gas in period 3 of the periodic table.
A species (element, cation or anion) should have eight valence electrons to have a noble gas electronic configuration. However element upto atomic number 4 may have 2 valence electrons and attain the electronic configuration of helium noble gas.
An atom with atomic number n needs to gain enough electrons to have the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas in the periodic table. This would typically involve gaining 8 electrons to achieve the stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.
Calcium has to lose 2 electrons to form noble gas configuration.
Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. To attain a noble gas configuration, Mg would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as a noble gas (like neon). This would result in Mg forming a +2 ion.

There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.
It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
