Polonium can lose two or four electrons.


How many electrons does Helium lose?

It will not lose any electron. As it is a noble gas (Group 18 ) it will not either gain or lose or share any electrons. It has a completely filled shell. So there is no need for losing electrons. They are also called as 'Inert Gases'.


How many atoms does calcium lose?

I am not sure what you mean by atoms, i think you mean electrons (part of an atom).Calcium is in Group 2 of the periodic table so this means that in order to become stable it will lose 2 electrons.


How many electrons will groups 1 and 2 and 3 lose?

Groups determine the number of electrons on the outer shell of an atom. When elements react, they want to complete their outer most shell. Filling the outer most shell is called the octet rule. In the cases of groups 1, 2 and 3, they want to donate, 1, 2 or 3 electrons to lose the outer most shell and form a completed outer shell.
