Answer 2

Name the term which represents the number of electrons of an atom lost gained or shared called

Explanation:

The term that represents the number of electrons an atom loses gains or shares to attain stability is said to be its valency and those electrons are known as the valent electrons of that atom.

For example, Sodium needs to lose 1 electron from its valence shell to gain stability hence its valency is 1 which is also the number of its valence electrons.
