The atoms are unchanged in any chemical reaction. Only the outer electron shell is affected as chemical bonds are formed.

Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.

They will loose electrons.
When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons. This is because metals have few electrons in their outermost shell and losing those electrons allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration.
No.
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
