What else can I help you with?
Is a cation a positively charged sodium atom?
yes
Describe what would happen if a positively sodium atom and a negatively charged chloringe atom came into contact?
Sodium chloride is formed.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
Yes, if a chlorine atom attracts an electron from sodium, the chlorine atom would gain an extra electron and become negatively charged, forming a chloride ion (Cl-). Sodium, on the other hand, would lose an electron and become positively charged, forming a sodium ion (Na+).
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and the chlorine atom become one a valves electron is transferred from one to another?
The sodium atom becomes a singly positively charged cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a singly negatively charged anion.
What part of a sodium atom is transferred when an ionic bond is formed whit other atom?
When a sodium atom forms an ionic bond with another atom, the outermost electron in the sodium atom is transferred to the other atom. This electron transfer results in the formation of a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and a negatively charged ion of the other atom.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
What charge will a Sodium atom have if it loses one electron?
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
What are positively charged electric particles in an atom?
Protons are the only positively charged particles in an atom.
The nucleus is positively charged?
Yes, the nucleus of an atom is positively charged because it contains positively charged protons. Electrons, which are negatively charged, orbit around the nucleus to maintain the overall neutrality of the atom.
Describe what would happen if a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chlorine atom came into contact?
The positively charged sodium atom would be attracted to the negatively charged chlorine atom, forming an ionic bond. This bond would result in the transfer of an electron from the sodium atom to the chlorine atom, forming a sodium ion and a chloride ion. These ions would then attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming a stable ionic compound known as sodium chloride or table salt.
What is ionic formulae?
An example is what we call a salt - say solid crystalline sodium chloride - dissolved in water it becomes both types of ions: the sodium atom becomes a positively charged atom / ion while the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged atom / ion.
