In chemical reactions, the primary parts of the atom exchanged are electrons, which are involved in bond formation and breaking. Atoms can lose or gain electrons, forming ions and leading to changes in molecular structures. These electron exchanges are crucial for the reaction types and pathways that govern chemical behavior.
