What does ion make up?
Ions make up ionic compounds. For example, the sodium ion, Na+ and the chloride ion, Cl-, make up the ionic compound sodium chloride, NaCl.
What is a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion?
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
What is formed when sodium ion and chloride ion is attached to watery molecules?
This procedure creates an aqueous solution of sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride is made up of a posotive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion therefore. it is an example of?
an ionic compound
What is the most abundant ion in seawater?
Chloride is actually the most abundant ion in ocean water.
What non-metals can be bonded with metals to make salt?
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
Is sodium chloride monovalent?
Sodium chloride is a compound and hasn't valence; sodium and chlorine, as elements are monovalent,
In a crystal of sodium chloride each sodium ion is attracted to what?
chloride ions surrounding it
What are the ions for sodium and chlorine?
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
Sodium chloride is made up of a positive Sodium ion and a negative Chloride ion therefore it is an example of?
A compound/molecule with an ionic bond.
In a salt crystal sodium chloride how does the number of sodium ions compare to the number chlorine ions?
The formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. This means that for every one sodium ion, there is one chloride ion. The ratio is 1:1, so the numbers of each ion in a crystal of NaCl should be equal.
