All metals when taking part in chemical reactions tend to lose electrons.
They are electro positive...
electrons in the outer shell, one or two most commonly (in Groups one and two of the Periodic Table) are lost or donated, to attain to an inert gas structure ( a full outer shell).

What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.

The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
