Electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
Atoms do not leave electrons! Electrons leave from the outer orbit of an atom and join the outermost orbit of another atom when there is a chemical reaction involved between the two atoms .
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom

The electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
Yes. Two atoms sharing electroncs in a covalent bond is a chemical reaction.
No, chemical reactions result only in the electrons of the atoms being involved. Only radioactivity results n nuclei of atoms being involved.
No, it results from the interaction of electrons.
electrons
The valence electrons of the atom.

It depends on the type of chemical reaction. A reduction-oxidation reaction (redox reaction) involves the transfer of electrons, thus electrons are involved, for example2Mg(s) + O2(g) > 2MgO(s)However, reactions involving acids or bases involve the movement of protons (acids are proton donors, bases are proton acceptors) for example:HCl(aq) + H2O(l) > Cl-(aq) + H3O+(aq)Furthermore, there are nuclear reactions which can involve almost any particle. Therefore, the type of reaction determines the particle or type of particle involved.
