Electrons are both gained and lost in the formation of an ionic compound. The metal atom loses one or more electrons to the nonmetal with which it bonds. So the metal atom becomes a positively charged ion and the nonmetal atom becomes a negatively charged ion, and the ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, forming the ionic compound.
It depends on the element. Non-metals gain electrons, and metals lose electrons in a ionic bond. In a covalent bond, elements do not transfer (gain or lose) electrons, but are rather shared.
Neither. In a molecular compound electrons are shared between atoms.

Zinc is a chemical element. It is a transition metal, and zinc, which has the chemical symbol Zn, has an atomic number of 30. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.Element
Fructose is a compound. It is made of compounds carbon. hydrogen and oxygen. It helps in forming glucose.
High purity coke is Carbon(element), but it may be contaminated with some other substances forming a mixture.
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by the sharing of electrons (covalent compounds/molecules) or the transfer of electrons (ionic compounds).
In a proportional combination, a chemical reaction takes place forming a compound.
it loses two electrons when forming a compuond.
No. Barium is a Group 2 element, and as such will lose its two valence electrons to form a Ba2+ ion when forming an ionic compound.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
Carbon has for valence electrons for forming covalent bonds.
Because no chemical reaction occurs. The two (or more) miscible chemical species retain their chemical identity, rather than forming a new compound via a chemical reaction.
Zinc is a chemical element. It is a transition metal, and zinc, which has the chemical symbol Zn, has an atomic number of 30. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.Element
Electrovalent compound newtest3
Valence electrons.
Electrons involve in forming chemical bonds.
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
