Question

Very Important!! Electron lender or borrower?

Answer 1

Sodium lends 1 electron.
Phosphorus borrows 3 electrons.
Potassium lends one electron.
Oxygen borrows 2 electrons.
Iodine borrows one electron.
Cesium lends 1 electron.
Bromine borrows 1 electron.
Sulfur borrows 2 electrons.
And magnesium lends 2 electrons.

Answer 2

Answer : Lending makes the element as cation (positively charged species) and borrowing makes the element as anion (negatively charged species).

Usually all the metal species donates the electrons and non-metals accepts (borrows) the electrons.

Sodium (Na) donates 1 electron and becomes $Na^{+}$.

Phosphorus (P) accepts 3 electrons and becomes an anion of phosphorus $P^{-3}$.

Potassium (K) donates its one electron and gets converted to $K^{+}$.

Oxygen (O) accepts 2 electrons and turns as $O^{-2}$ .

Iodine (I) accepts one electron and gets converted into $I^{-}$.

Cesium (Cs) donates 1 electron and turns to $Cs^{+}$.

Bromine (Br) accepts 1 electron and turns as $Br^{-}$.

Sulfur (S) accepts 2 electrons and becomes $S^{-2}$.

Magnesium (Mg) donates its 2 electrons and gets converted as $Mn^{+2}$.
