Any Group 1 or Group 2 element will easily give up an electron. examples are:
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)
Magnesium (Mg)
Strontium (Sr)
Depending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
An electron is not an element.
Rather than to give a simple number as answer, I suggest to look up Magnesium on wikipedia, where you will even find a picture with the electron configuration. (And this method can be applied to answer the same question for any other element.)
The element with 1 electron in period 1 would be hydrogen.
none
The electron
Depending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
Sodium gives away one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a cation with a +1 charge.
Depending on how many valence electrons in the element has, The other element could take away a valence electron to make eight
This is an ionic bond.
No, it can not do both at the same time.
Francium gives away electrons very easily due to its location in the alkali metal group, which makes its outer electron very loosely bound. This makes Francium highly reactive and likely to form ions by losing its single valence electron.
Oxygen is an electron withdrawing element.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
Helium has no electron affinity.
An electron is not an element.
