No it does not.
Group 17, halogens
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.

When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
A group that is close to having a full valence shell, like groups 5-7 on the periodic table, can either lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This is known as the octet rule, where atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to have a full outer shell of electrons.

they are ions
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
