What charge does the Na and CI atoms acquire when they react?
Sodium loses one electron, therefore Na+ Chlorine gains an electron, therefore Cl-
What are the noble gases that Na 1 and Cl-1 resemble in there electron configuration?
Na+ has 10 electrons and is isoelectronic with neon. Cl- has 18 electrons and is isoelectronic with argon.
What 3 elements that are likely to donate 1 valence electron?
Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron. So they are likely to donate 1 electron to get more stable. potassium, rubidium and cesium are likely to donate 1 electron.
How many electrons would be involved in a bond between Na and Cl?
Sodium chloride is neutral; only elements have an electronegativity.
What is the electron shell diagram for sodium chloride?
The Elements Symbol Is : Na
What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium chloride?
In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)
If an atom has one valence electron what will it form?
The positive ion, the one that took the electrons, should have a full shell while, the negative ion, the one that lost the electrons, should have an empty shell.
When sodium reacts with chlorine does sodium donate an electron to chlorine and become a positively charged ion?
Yes, Sodium chloride is an ionic compound composed of Na+ and Cl- ions.
What is ionic bonding structure?
Ionic bond is when a non-metal takes the metals valance electrons so both atoms can be balanced. Take NaCl for example. Na has one valance electron and Cl only needs one to get eight. So Cl takes Na's one valance electron...:Cl: Na. See the empty spot for Cl, that where Na's valance electron will go.'
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.
What charge does the Na and CI atoms acquire when they react?
Sodium loses one electron, therefore Na+ Chlorine gains an electron, therefore Cl-
When an electron is transferred from one atom to the next and the two atoms are then electrically attracted to one another the type of bond is a(n) bond.?
This is called an ionic bondExample:Na --> Na+ + 1 e-Cl + 1 e- --> Cl-Na+ + Cl- --> Na+Cl-
Arrange the following elements from greatest to least tendency to accept an electron. Cl S Si Mg Na?
From greatest to least tendency to accept an electron, they are F, O, C, Li, and Be.
How many electron pairs are there in Nacl?
18. Cl=17 Na= 11
What are the noble gases that Na 1 and Cl-1 resemble in there electron configuration?
Na+ has 10 electrons and is isoelectronic with neon. Cl- has 18 electrons and is isoelectronic with argon.
How do sodium and chlorine combine?
Ionically. Sodium ionises its one outer most valence electon to form the cation Na^(+) Chlorine has electron affinity, wi thspace to accept one more electron to complete its outer energy shell octet. Cl^(-) Since the sodium cation and the chloride anion each have one opposite charge, they combine like the north and south poles of a magnet. Here are the equations Na => Na^(+) + e^- (ionisation) e^- + Cl => Cl^(-) (electron affinity) Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = (Na^+Cl^-) or just NaCl(s) (ionic attraction)
What part of a sodium atom is transferred when an ionic bond is formed whit other atom?
The sodium atom will donate an electron to the other atom which it is in compound with, leaving you with Na[+] and another, negatively charged ion (for example Cl[-]).
