When electrons donate, they transfer to another atom or molecule. This transfer can create a new chemical bond and lead to the formation of new compounds. Generally, electron donation is associated with reducing agents in chemical reactions.

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.


Of the metals Pb Hg Na and Mg which will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper in solution?

Lead (Pb) and Mercury (Hg) will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper in solution because they are lower in the reactivity series than copper. Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) are more reactive than copper and could potentially donate electrons to copper in solution.

When atoms donate and accept electrons?

When atoms donate or accept electrons, they form ions with a positive or negative charge. This process is known as ionization, which can occur in chemical reactions to achieve stability through a full outer electron shell. Ions with opposite charges can attract each other and form ionic compounds.
