Do inert elements gain electrons?
There is no electron exchange when no reaction takes place (this is what 'inert' means)
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
What happens when electrons are gained or lost?
Gain or electron means reduction energy is not gained but given off during this and also when oxidation takes place the same thing thing happens' energy is released when a redox reaction takes place(ie both oxidation & reduction)
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
When non metals and metal react which atoms gain electrons?
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds

What happens when gain of oxygen takes place?
A loss of electrons occur, an oxidation reaction.
Which group on the periodic table will gain an electron in reaction?
group 17 - the halogens

Does a sodium atom gain one electron?
It keeps its neutrons but loses one electron. Protons and neutrons do not move in a chemical reaction. Sodium, being in group one, must lose one electron to have a complete outer electron shell and thus be stable.
When non metals and metal react which atoms gain electrons?
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds
What chemical reaction happens when turning on a torch?
Well How much i know, i can say that its an ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION. In this reaction electricity is formed using chemicals. It has tow halves. One side there's an element which loses electrons and other side an element is ready to gain it. when you press the torch switch, you complete the circuit and the electron flow takes place from one element to the other which produces electricity and helps you light the torch.
What family of elements contains elements most likely to gain an electron in chemical reaction?
Nonmetals, expecially halogens.
What is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in a chemical reaction?
Halogens
Is the electron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?
