Elements on the right of the Periodic Table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.

Does iron gain or loose electrons?
Iron can both gain and lose electrons depending on the reaction it is involved in. In general, iron tends to lose electrons to form positively charged ions, such as Fe2+ or Fe3+, but it can also gain electrons to form negatively charged ions, such as Fe2-.
Which element tends to gain one electron?
Boron, Krypton,Neon, and Radon Krypton, Neon and Radon do not gain electrons. Because an atom wants to have eight electrons in their valence shell or their outermost shell, and Krypto, Neon and Radon are Noble Gases which already have eight in their valence shells, so they don't lose or gain electrons. And as for Boron it want's to gain 5 electrons because it only has three in its valence shell.
Does a metal gain or lose an electron when it reacts with a nonmetal?
The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.
Does argon want to gain or lose electrons?
Argon is a Noble Gas. Thus it does not lose or gain electrons.
Will silicon lose or gain electrons?
Silicon will tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, as it has 4 valence electrons and typically forms covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine gains electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. It has seven valence electrons and tends to gain one more electron to complete its outer shell and attain a full octet.
Phosphorus will it gain or lose electrons?
It can do both. It gains electrons in Phosphene, loses electrons in Phosphate.
Does oxygen have an excess or a deficiency of electrons?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to fill its outer shell, resulting in a deficiency of electrons.
Will potassium lose electrons or gain electrons when reacting with bromine?
Potassium will lose electrons when reacting with bromine. Potassium is a metal and tends to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while bromine is a nonmetal that tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does iron gain or loose electrons?
Iron can both gain and lose electrons depending on the reaction it is involved in. In general, iron tends to lose electrons to form positively charged ions, such as Fe2+ or Fe3+, but it can also gain electrons to form negatively charged ions, such as Fe2-.
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
Which element will gain electrons in the reaction between calicum and chlorine?
Chlorine will gain electrons in the reaction with calcium. Chlorine is a halogen, which tends to gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell, while calcium is a metal that tends to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many electrons does iodine lose or gains when it forms a ion?
Iodine tends to gain one electron when it forms an ion.
Will tellurium lose or gain electrons?
Tellurium tends to gain electrons in chemical reactions to achieve a full outer shell and attain the stable electron configuration of a noble gas. It typically forms -2 oxidation state by gaining two electrons.
Does Krypton tend to lose, gain, or share its electron?
Krypton tends to neither lose nor gain electrons since it has a full outer electron shell, making it stable.
Does xenon have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in reactions?
it is a noble gas, it doesn't do either one
