Do electons pass from one atom to another?

Yes they do.

The matter is if you mean pass as a permanent action or not.

In polar bonds the atoms share their orbitals and the electon pass in both the atoms.

With an ionic bond the more electronegative atom gets the electon and charges negatively, the other gets his electon carried away and charges positively. And this a permanent action which usually generates ionic composites such as Na+Cl-.



Electons run into orbitals (wich are teoric they don't really exists, they are just the representation of the area where the electon spend the 90% of his time).

Hydrogen like atoms are assumed to have just the one electron. This enables estimations to be made discounting the complex effects of other electons round the atom.
