No. electrons are sub-atomic particles.
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons

Xenon has 54 electrons.
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.

Valence electrons
Negative ions can be formed from both metals and nonmetals. When a metal loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged cation, while when a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged anion.
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
The outer electrons of a metal atom that bonds with a nonmetal atom are either transferred to the nonmetal to form an ionic bond or shared with the nonmetal to form one or more covalent bonds.
Xenon, a noble gas, has 54 electrons.
