Answer:

I will give up the electrons

Explanation:

Consider the following rules:

1. An atom loses electrons if its oxidation number is positive.

2. An atom gains electrons if its oxidation number is negative.

3. An atom neither gains nor loses electrons if its atomic number is zero.

As I have an oxidation number [tex]+2[/tex] that is oxidation number is positive, so, I will give up electrons.
