during a chemical reaction valence electrons are most always transferred
This is an ionic bond.
In ioic compounds an electron is transferred forming the Ag+ ion.
their gain or loss of electrons
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.

exothermic chemical reactions
By abstracting electrons from or donating electrons to some other chemical substance.
Ionic bonds are formed by transferring electrons, while covalent (molecular) are formed by sharing electrons.

Ionic Bond
There are two types of chemical bonds. The first is ionic, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The second is covalent, where electrons are shared between atoms.
during a chemical reaction valence electrons are most always transferred
The valence electrons are the only electrons that are involved in chemical bonding. These electrons can be shared or transferred. A simple rule of thumb is that atoms "strive" to attain the octet either by loss gain or sharing of electrons.
