In soduim chloride does chlorine gain or loose an electron?
in sodium chloride chlorine gains an electron and the bond formed between then is ionic.
What group in the periodic table gains electrons most readily and why?
Group-17 in the periodic table gains electron most readily. The elements in this group require only one electron to complete its octet.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
Why do sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond so readily?
Because a sodium atom loses its outer electron very readily, and a chlorine atom gains one very readily. Thus they are a perfect match for one another.
