A diagram of rhodium?
refer to Wikipedia and you can see an electron shell diagram of rhodium.
What is the electron shell diagram for helium?
Helium has one energy shell with only 2 electrons in it.
How many electrons and electron shell do sodium have?
they have 28 electrons and 14 electron shell. could you answer this what song is this from Gangnam Style Never do SEX! It is WRONG!
When a chlorine atom gains an electron it fills its valence shell forming a negative chloride what?
The chloride ion is an anion (Cl-).
What is the overall charge on sodium chloride?
Sdoium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
How does sodium atom and a chloride atom combine?
A sodium atom has one electron outside a closed shell, and a chlorine atom lacks one electron to fill a shell. A sodium chloride molecule forms by ionic bonding, the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting positive and negative ions.
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
How many electrons are in valence shell of a sodium atom before and after reaction with chlorine gas to give sodium chloride NaCl?
Before : One electron in the valence shell After reaction w/ Cl gas: none electron in the valence shell
How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
Are electrons shared equally in Na-Cl?
No. This is an ionic compound and the electron of sodium is donated into the electron shell of chlorine. Na + ( the cation ) and Cl - ( the anion ) form the ionic compound NaCl, sodium chloride.
How many electron dots does sodium have?
The valence shell of sodium has one electron.
How many atoms in the valence shell of sodium?
There is one electron in sodium's valance shell.
Why does metallic sodium react violently with water while sodium chloride does not?
Sodium is an element which has one electron in its outer electron shell, and which can obtain a more stable electron configuration by getting rid of that electron. This causes it to undergo chemical reactions with other elements such as oxygen or chlorine, which need to acquire electrons in order to obtain a more stable electron configuration. If sodium reacts with water, it is reacting with the oxygen in the water molecule. In the case of sodium chloride, the sodium has already reacted with chlorine to form that compound, and has given up its outer electron, so it no longer needs to react with oxygen in water.
Why does sodium chloride have no charged ions but no overall charge?
When, for example a sodium atom (a metal) meets a chlorine atom (a non-metal) the sodium looses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium iron Na+. Chlorine takes on sodiums electron to become to ion Cl-. It also gains a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable then the neutral atoms form which they were formed, and together they exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt).
What happenes when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
