The more electronegative element. Nonmetals have enough electronegativity advantage over metals to do this.

What happens to electrons during ion formation?
nothing
Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
A product of the combination of atoms during chemical reactions?
A chemical compound is formed when atoms combine through a chemical reaction. This combination involves the rearrangement of atoms' electrons, resulting in the formation of new chemical bonds. The resulting product can be a solid, liquid, or gas with distinct properties different from the starting materials.
What is the element that borrows the electrons in a chemical reaction called?
Any element can oxidize(take an electron from) another element during chemical reactions as long as it has a partial positive charge. The most common element that is an oxidizing agent is Hydrogen.
Whats The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia when it reacts with nitrous oxide and how many electrons it leaves behind during the process?
A formation equation is something like this: H2 + 0.5O2 --> H20. Formation equations are the only case in which a formula can have fractions, this is because the product must have one mol of the compound. In the case of Ammonia:Hydrogen reacts with Nitrogen to form Ammonia:H2 + N2 --> NH3 [incorrect]3/2 H2 + 1/2 N2 --> NH3 [correct]That is the equation for the formation of Ammonia
During the formation of a compound what causes the attractions to form between atoms?
because they have to share electrons
How many electrons of one atom of calcium donate to one atom of oxygen during the formation of the compound CaO?
2
What happens during the formation of an ionic compound?
The more electronegative atom obtains electrons from the other and they are bonded by electrostatic forces.
How many electrons does one atom of calcium donate to one atom of oxygen during the formation of the compound CaO?

What will the alkali metals family do with its valence electrons during a compound formation?
Alkali metals lose one electron in chemical reactions.
What happens to electrons during ion formation?
nothing
Are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond?
They are the electrons in the (outer) valence shell
Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
What happen to particles during a displacement reaction?
An element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.)
What usually happens to valence electrons?
In metals, they are transfered during reactions or thought to be lost during ion formation
Which does the electrons transport chain do during cellular raspiration?
it provides energy that powers the formation of ATP.
When does displacement reaction occur?
When one element replaces another element in a compound during a chemical reaction
