When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
What is the difference between the electron arrangement of ionic bonds and covalent bond?
With an ionic bond, one type of atom, a metal, donates one or more electrons to another type of atom, a nonmetal. With covalent bonding, atoms share electrons.
What happens in a bronsted lowry acid-base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
What is back bonding in metal carbonyls?
carbonyl in electron acceptor ligand it has empty orbital which can accept electron as well as filled orbital which can donate electrons . when carbonyl binds with metal it donates the electrons ,metal which is in low oxidation state now has excess electrons and it becomes stable if it back donate some electrons to the carbonyl in its anti bonding orbital forming a pi bond
What happens to the electrons in a ionic bond?
The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.
What type of reactions occur when one substance donates electrons and another substance accepts those electrons?
That reaction is called Ionic bonding. Hope I helped, 2000AD

Atoms can achieve a full octet of electrons by doing what?
By bonding with another atom, either ionically (donates/receives electrons) or covalently (electron sharing).
What type or reaction occurs when one substance donates electrons and other substance accepts those electrons?
It is a redox reaction.
Why does a strong acid react differently in water than a strong base?
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
Does carbon become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?
no, because carbon can neither donate or accept electrons , since it has 4 electrons in its outermost shellif it donates the remaining electrons fall into the nucleus as the number of protons is 4 more.And if it accepts nucleus cannot bare 4 more electrons. so it just forms co-valent bond with other atoms which doesnot need to become an ion before bonding.
What is the difference between the electron arrangement of ionic bonds and covalent bond?
With an ionic bond, one type of atom, a metal, donates one or more electrons to another type of atom, a nonmetal. With covalent bonding, atoms share electrons.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining?
An atom can become an ion by either gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a cation. An ion is merely an atom with a charge, either positive or negative.

An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
What is meant by reduction of benzene?
Benzene accepts protons and electrons in it's structure while some other element/molecule is oxidized and donates those protons and electrons to benzene. That is all reduction is; gaining of H + and electrons.
