^ Poker? i don't think elements have much interest in card games.. atoms lose neutrons due to radioactive decay, these atoms exist as different isotopes of the same element. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 both exist as the same element (atomic number 6), but with different Atomic Mass and number of neutrons.
they can do both
The different members of an atom's family are called isotopes, ions, and allotropes. Isotopes are variants of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions are charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element, like carbon's diamond and graphite forms.
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
Atoms can be ionized in chemical reactions when they gain or lose electrons. In some reactions, atoms may rearrange into different molecules or compounds. However, atoms are not destroyed or vaporized during chemical reactions; they are simply rearranged into different combinations.
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.
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.

An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion

They try to lose usually.

do atoms of a covalent bond lose r share electrons
