How many electrons will tellurium lose or gain?

Tellurium (Te) typically gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, as it is located in group 16 of the periodic table. By gaining two electrons, it forms anions with a -2 charge. In some cases, tellurium can also lose electrons, particularly in certain compounds, but gaining electrons is the more common behavior.
