Can transition metals donate all of their electrons?
No, but some of them can donate all their valence electrons. Let us take a ridiculous example. Copper is [Ar]4s2d9. Donating 11 valence electrons would be energetically impossible. Now Vanadium is different and is [Ar]4s2d3 and so only needs to donate 5 valence electrons. This can be and is done V2O5 is a very stable compound - vanadium pentoxide.
Why should donor atoms donate the electrons?
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
Less than 4 electrons in the outer shell the atom will?
donate the electrons forming a cation.
How many electrons does Na donate?
Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
How scrap iron is used to displace copper from solution?
In general, any metal higher than copper in the "electromotive series" will displace copper from copper sulfate solution. This category includes all the alkali and alkaline earth metals and other common metals such as iron and zinc. For example Aluminum and Iron both displace Copper: Aluminum in Copper sulfate will trade places in the ionic balance of the solution and 'join' with the sulfate. CuSO4(aq) + Al(s) ==> AlSO4(aq) + Cu++(s) Because this single displacement reaction occurs in immediate proximity to the aluminum, Copper++ ions accumulate in a fluffy rust colored fur around the aluminum. Iron in Copper Sulfate will also go into the aqueous sulfate solution and the Copper will precipitate onto the Iron CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) ==> FeSO4(aq) + Cu?(s) This reaction happens at the ferrous surface more intimately than the Aluminum and the Copper is deposited as a 'plate'.
General explanation for acid and alkali?
Acids receive electron. Alkalis donate. Acids donate hydrogen ion in solution. Alkalis donate hydroxyl ion in solution. Alkalis donate lone pair electrons.

Would Copper and Oxygen form a covalent bond?
No, copper and oxygen would not form a covalent bond. Instead, they would likely form an ionic bond, where copper would donate electrons to oxygen to create a copper oxide compound.
Do metals donate or accept electrons and what do they become?
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
Why should donor atoms donate the electrons?
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
What do acids do in a a solution?
Basically, donate protons to the solution. H +
Those particles that donate electrons are?
nucleophiles
Is copper and chlorine most likely to form a metallic bond yes or no?
No, copper and chlorine are not likely to form a metallic bond. Metallic bonds typically occur between atoms of the same metal, while copper and chlorine are different elements. Instead, copper and chlorine are more likely to form an ionic bond where copper will donate electrons to chlorine forming a compound such as copper (II) chloride.
Do nonmetal donate or accept electrons?
If a non-metal combines with a metal, then the metal will donate electrons and the non-metal will accept electrons. An ionic bond is the result to form an ionic compound. If the non-metal combines with another non-metal, then both will share the electrons resulting in the formation of a covalent bond between them. The molecule is known as covalent compound.
What are molecules held together by the donation of electrons to another atom?
Ionic molecules donate electrons.
Less than 4 electrons in the outer shell the atom will?
donate the electrons forming a cation.
How many electrons does Na donate?
Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
