The most recent accurate answer would be Neon. At least that's what my memory ( and my Periodic Table of the elements) tells me. If I am not correct please let me know!

When an atom combines chemically with another atom it either gains or loses or shares is?
Electrons.
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What of atom tends to lose one electron?
Metals tend to lose electrons.
When an atom combines with another what kind of configuration do they have?
They have a covalent bond

When an atom combines chemically with another atom it either gains loses or share what?
It either gains, loses, or shares electrons.

What would s sulfur atom tend to do in bonding with another atom to form an ionic compound?
A sulfur atom tends to gain two electrons.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What of atom tends to lose one electron?
Metals tend to lose electrons.
What happens in the electron shells when one atom combines with another to form a compound?
When two (or more atoms) join to form a compound, they actually join by sharing electrons.
When an atom combines with another what kind of configuration do they have?
They have a covalent bond
Are electrons in an atom related to protons?
Yes. The number of electrons in an atom tends to balance the number of protons. However, some atoms have more or less electrons, meaning they are in an ionic, or charged form.
How does an atom becoming a negativity charged ion?
It must take electrons from either another atom or be ionized. If it takes electrons from another atom then it has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
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.
