Are transferred electrons converted into other chemical compounds in biological systems?

In normal 'chemical' life electrons will never change to something else.
However they 'fly' easily from one (reductant = donor) compound to another compound (oxidant = acceptor) and thus causing the change of both compounds.
Sometimes internal relocation of electrons in one compound takes place, going from one to the other bond in that particular molecule.

What does electrons do when silver forms a chemical bond?
In ioic compounds an electron is transferred forming the Ag+ ion.
What are isosteric compounds?
Isosteric compounds have the same number of atoms and/or the same number of valence electrons in total. Their electrons may be arranged in the same way. The physical properties of isosteric compounds are similar but their biological properties may be very different.
What describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
Neutral charge describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred.
What type of compounds form from nonmetals sharing electrons?
These are covalent compounds.
Do compounds have valence electrons?
No. it is the term used to tell the electrons in an atom.
Do ionic compounds share electrons?
No they do not, electrons are transferred between atoms

Can compounds be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
What is reaction in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
When electrons are transferred in a reaction, it is referred to oxidation/reduction or redox.
A way electrons can be transfered?
Electrons are transferred in any protonation or deprotonation. Electrons are also transferred in redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions.
Which qualities can be used to identify binary covalent compounds?
apex Compounds made from two nonmetals Sharing of electrons
Are all compounds made by sharing electrons?
Only covalent compounds are made by sharing electrons.
What is bonds that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
A electron bond is a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, When a electron bond forms the electrons are transferred to one atom back.
Do ionic compounds form from the sharing of electron pairs?
No. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons
Can a compound be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
