Electrons are made up of something, we simply don't know the nature of this matter. But electrons as fundamental particles are not divisible in other smaller particles.
yes they are what makes up the atom
The subatomic particle you are asking about is the electron. There are other subatomic particles which make up the neutrons and protons, but they are not involved in chemical bonding. The only thing that makes up an electron is an electron, nothing else.
Most of the size of an atom is made up of the electron cloud, where electrons are located. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is much smaller in comparison to the overall size of the atom.
Alkali metals prefer to give up their one valence electron in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, resembling that of noble gases. This tendency to lose an electron makes them highly reactive and results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations). They do not typically share or accept electrons in chemical reactions.
The electron cloud or electron shell
This is the electron.

An electron is a fundamental particle that consists of three smaller particles: two down quarks and one up quark, held together by the electromagnetic force.
Electron geometry for this is tetrahedral. There are two O-F single bonds, which makes 2 electron groups. There are two lone pairs around oxygen, which make up the last two electron groups. Molecules with four electron groups has a tetrahedral Electron geometry.

Yes, it can stabilize by giving away its electron, the reactions between an acid and a metal can be explained by this behavior.
It occurs in three steps 1. Glycolysis, 2. Kerbs cycle, 3. Electron transport chain
An atom is a nucleolus and an associated electron cloud. They bond by swapping OR sharing (valance or outer) electrons.
Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, so it tends to lose that electron to achieve a full outer shell. This makes sodium more stable as it follows the octet rule by having a complete outer electron shell with eight electrons.
Most of the size of an atom is made up of the electron cloud, where electrons are located. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is much smaller in comparison to the overall size of the atom.
Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, which makes them stable because they have achieved a balanced and low-energy state.
The chloride ion is Cl- (chlorine with a gained electron); these ions exist for example in water solutions of soluble chlorides.
