Atoms have electrons, protons, and (usually) neutrons. Electrons may be shared by or transfered to other atoms. Sharing or transfering protons or neutrons would require a nuclear reaction such as fission, fusion, or radioactive decay.
It is also possible for atoms to share or transfer energy by collision - but I suspect that is not what you meant by your question.

∙ 11y agoIf the electronegativity between two atoms is above 1.7, electrons are transferred to form ionic bond.
If the electronegativity between two atoms is below 1.7, electrons are shared to form covalent bond.

Ionic bonding is where one atom gives (transfers) electrons to another other.

What are the different types of bonds bonds bonds?
Bid bonds will protect the owner of the project if the bid is not honored, performance bonds will guarantee the work will be completed according to the terms, and payment bonds will guarantee all payments that are due from the principal. These are the three types of construction bonds.
What bond forms between two atoms?
A chemical bond that may be ionic where the atoms bonded together are charged or covalent where electrons are shared. The nature of the bond depends on the relative electronegativity of the atoms involved. An example of an ionic bond is in sodium chloride. An example of a covalent bond is one between carbon and hydrogen for example in a hydrocarbon. When an element atom bonds to another atom of the same elemnt then that bond is covalent, eg O2, N2, H2, S8.
In covalent bonds what are Shared electrons sometimes referred to as?
Covalent bond, if unequally shared due to an electronegativity difference between the atoms they may be called a polar covalent bond
Is the force of attraction between atoms sharing electrons?
The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons. The atoms do not always share the electrons equally, so a polar covalent bond may be the result. When electrons are shared by two metallic atoms a metallic bond may be formed. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms. The electrons that participate in metallic bonds may be shared between any of the metal atoms in the region.
What is the bond in solid molecules?
The bond between solid molecules isn't necessarily different from the bond between liquid or gaseous molecules. They are all essentially the same, but at differing levels of energy.The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons. The atoms do not always share the electrons equally, so a polar covalent bond may be the result. When electrons are shared by two metallic atoms a metallic bond may be formed. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms. The electrons that participate in metallic bonds may be shared between any of the metal atoms in the region.
Is it true that when atoms form bonds electrons may be transfered or shared between atoms?
true
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?
Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.
Describe the general location of electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
Type of compound where electrons are shared between bonded atoms?
I think it may be covalent.

When two atoms meet and react which parts of their atoms will touch first?
In the normal sense of "react", no parts meet: The nuclei remain distinct but electons may be shared.

What is a molecule bonding?
Just as the valence electrons of atoms occupy atomic orbitals (AO), the shared electron pairs of covalently bonded atoms may be thought of as occupying molecular orbitals (MO).
WHAT CAN WE Say about covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons. (This contrasts with ionic bonding where electrons are transferred). The bonds may be single (one shared pair), double (two shared pairs), or triple, (three shared pairs). The electrons in a covalent bond may not be shared equally. This is called a polar covalent bond. It odccurs when there is a difference in elctronegativity between the atoms then the more electronegtaive atom has a bigger share. The more electronegative atom has a small negative charge build up and the less electronegative atom a small positive. Usually the electrons are "localised" to the two atoms, however in some compounds such as benzene with alternating double bonds (in the valence bond model) there is resonance and the pairs of electrons in the double bond are spread over the ring.

What part of daltons theory was modified after discovery of isotopes?
Atoms may not be changed into other atoms.
