Is chlorine a cation or anion?
As Chlorine it is an ATOM. However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
What is the central atom in the chlorite anion surrounded by?
Oxygen atoms ... two oxygen atoms, to be exact.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
Is chlorine a cation or anion?
As Chlorine it is an ATOM. However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is tranferred from one to the other?
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
WHAT atom is the anion in sodium chloride salt?
The anion is chlorine (Cl-).
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium the atom of chlorine does what?
accepts an electron to become the chloride anion, Cl-
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.
How many electrons in a chlorine anion?
A chlorine anion has gained one electron, resulting in a total of 18 electrons. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, but gaining one electron makes it negatively charged, with a total of 18 electrons in the anion.
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
When a neutral atom gains electrons it is then?
This atom become an anion.
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
What is the anion of chlorine?
The anion of chlorine is chloride (Cl-).
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
