This type of interaction form the covalent bond, for example between nonmetals.
The other common type of bond is ionic.
The electrons get shared between the two elements, from the covalent bonds.
It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell. It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
The pairs of electrons are shared between atoms.

all elements want to have a full valence shell and when an atom loses electrons it is said to become a cation.
The electrons between the two elements aren't shared equally and slightly polarizes both sides, or gives it a positive or negative charge.
I think you mean, 'What happens when ionic bonding occurs between two elements' In ionic bonding two or more elements share electrons from their outter shells, usually resulting in full, stable outter shells like the noble gases.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Two electrons are shared between two atoms, in fact, they are the bonding electrons.
