∙ 14y agoWhen a chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion, it is reduced. This means that the chlorine atom gains an electron and attains a negative charge. In order for this to happen, chlorine must react with another substance which gives up an electron.

When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
What happens to chlorine when it gains n atom from sodium?
It forms an ionic bond with sodium creating Salt, which has a lattice shape
Which element will have a noble gas configuration if it forms an ionic bond by accepting one electron from a sodium atom?
Chlorine (Cl)
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.

When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
Describe how a sodium atom forms a bond with a chlorine atom?
The bonding mechanism between sodium and chlorine atom occurs through harpoon mechanism
Why An atom of lithium (Li) forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine (Cl) to form lithium chloride. How are the valence electrons of these atoms rearranged to form this bond?
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
A chlorine atom will steal an electron from a sodium atom. The result is called an between the sodium and chlorine ions. this forms sodium chloride known as salt?
ionic bond
When a electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?

Which element will have a noble gas configuration if it forms an ionic bond by accepting one electron from a sodium atom?
Chlorine (Cl)
What atom will form an ionic bond with chlorine?
Any metal atom will form an ionic bond with chlorine, as long as there is a complete transfer of electrons and both atoms become stable.
