No. An atom is made of Elements. Name of element is decided by number of Protons, containing in it's Nucleus. Two or more different types of elements react with each other to form compound in what is called as chemical reaction.

Which part of an atom or ion takes part in a chemical reaction?
The valence electrons are the part that takes place in a chemical reaction.
What part of an atom is use in a chemical reaction?
Electrons - the valence electrons
What is the smallest part of a chemical element that can be combined with other elements to form compounds?
An atom. However it should be noted that generally the valence electrons in an atom take part in a chemical reaction.
What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that can't change in a chemical reaction?
the number of protons and neutrons
Where in the atom are the electrons that are used to form bonds located?
The electrons that participate in chemical bonds are located in the "valence shell" or outer energy level of that atom. They are known as the valence electrons, and they are the only part of the atom that participates in a chemical reaction.
What parts of an atom participate in chemical reactions?
When an element reacts with another element, they form a compound. How a compound is formed has to do with the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons which are held in the outer most energy level.

What part of the atom takes part in chemical reaction?
The electrons
What part of the atom bonds in a chemical reaction?
the valence electrons
What part of an atom physically moves in a chemical reaction?
Electrons.
What part of the atom takes part in a chemical reaction?
Only the valence electrons
What part of an atom is use in a chemical reaction?
Electrons - the valence electrons
What part of the atom is involved in a chemical bond?
A standard chemical reaction always and only involves a change in the electron configuration of the atom (either the number of electrons or their energy configuration).If the nucleus is affected (either the number of protons or electrons), then it is designated as a nuclear reaction, and this is quite different.
What part of an atom is shared to form a compound?
All chemical bonding and compound formation occurs from the sharing of electrons.
What is the smallest part of a chemical element that can be combined with other elements to form compounds?
An atom. However it should be noted that generally the valence electrons in an atom take part in a chemical reaction.
What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that can't change in a chemical reaction?
the number of protons and neutrons
What is a chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound?
single replacement :)
