It is not clear from your question what you mean by sharing substances, or exactly what it is that these substances are sharing. However, I'll make a guess. Chemical reactions often involve atoms sharing electrons. And what happens to them during chemical reactions is that the distribution of electrons shifts. Electrons don't have to actually leave one atom and go to another in order to form a chemical reaction. Sometimes it is more a matter of spending some time with one atom and some time with another, or with several others. Electrons are very versatile.

What metal WONT dissolve in saltwater?

Gold wouldn't corrode, I think that's what you mean because generally speaking metals don't dissolve. Corrosion is a chemical reaction where as dissolving is, I would say, more of a physical change because electrons aren't shared or exchanged in the process.Also platinum wouldn't.
