yes, chlorine is a diatomic molecule, meaning two chlorine atoms can combine together to form a molecule.

∙ 12y agoit depends on how much electron are on the outer energy level because if it doesnt have an equal amount of electrons then its not stable so it would bond with another unstable atom or element

What is the binary ionic compound of magnesium and chlorine?
Magnesium forms divalent cations and chlorine forms monovalent anions; therefore, the binary compound of magnesium and chloride has the formula MgCl2.
Is iodine a cation?
Iodine itself is an element, not an ion. It forms anions rather than cations.
Why does anion removes chlorine in the water softener?
Anions bond with chlorine, so I would guess that they make compounds that are either unharmful (eg. Sodium ion + Chlorine ion = table salt) or easier to filter out.
Chlorine is it a element or compound?
Chlorine is an element, because it is in the Periodic Table. It forms the elemental molecule Cl2 ( Cl - Cl) It is a green extremely poisonous gas. Not found directly in nature , but only as it anions Cl^- & ClO^- etc., in NaCl ( Sodium Chloride - common salt) , and Ca(ClO)2 ( a bleach).
What is the formulas ionic compound fro calcium nitride?
The formula is Ca3N2: Calcium forms divalent cations and nitrogen forms trivalent anions.
What is the binary ionic compound of magnesium and chlorine?
Magnesium forms divalent cations and chlorine forms monovalent anions; therefore, the binary compound of magnesium and chloride has the formula MgCl2.
Is iodine a cation?
Iodine itself is an element, not an ion. It forms anions rather than cations.
What is barium mono-atomic cations and anions?
Barium forms a divalent cation and no anions.
When naming the compound containing potassium and chlorine change the suffi of anions name to?

What elements forms anions and why 1Silver 2Strontium 3Tin 4Iodine?
iodine forms iodide anion
Which tends to form anions when bonding with other elements?
Anions are negative ions, so any element that gains a negative charge in a chemical reaction. Some examples of elements that commonly do this are the halogens (flourine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) and oxygen.
Is oxygen anion or cation?
Oxygen is an element. It normally forms anions.
What are anions of a particular element generally larger than the atoms of the same element?
Its C. Anions gain electrons without gaining protons. This increased negative charge with no increase in positive charge allows electrons to orbit farther from the nucleus; therefore the ions are larger.
Why does anion removes chlorine in the water softener?
Anions bond with chlorine, so I would guess that they make compounds that are either unharmful (eg. Sodium ion + Chlorine ion = table salt) or easier to filter out.
What type of bond holds sodium and cholride atoms together when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms?
When sodium atoms and chlorine atoms interact, the sodium atoms are converted to positively charged cations and the chlorine atoms are converted to negatively charged anions. The cations and anions to which the atoms have been converted are held together by mutual electrostatic charge attractions.
What is an element that borrows electrons in an chemical reaction?
Anions (negative ions) : example: Chlorine (Cl)
Why do chlorine fluorine and bromine act in a similar way?
Chlorine , fluorine ,and bromine belongs to halogen family. They have 7 valence electrons and gains 1 electron to form anions.
