How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
How many ions are required to form sodium Chloride?
Your phrasing is slightly off. It does not require ions to form sodium chloride; that compound is made from atoms of sodium and chlorine (one of each). Once the compound is formed, the sodium and chlorine then become ions, Na+ and Cl-.
How do sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride?
When in elemental form, atoms of sodium lose electrons to atoms of chlorine, forming ions (this occurs in a 1:1 ratio). These ions are attracted by the electric difference between them and form a salt.
What happens when sodium nitrite dissolves in water?
it dissociates to form Na+ ions and nitrite ions (NO2-) which are then hydrated by water molecules
How many sodium ions there in 85g of sodium oxide Na2O?
The number of sodium ions is 16,518.10e23.
What element combined with chloride ion would form an ionic compound?
Chloride ions would form elements with ions of metallic elements. For example, with sodium ions, chloride ions form sodium chloride.
How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
The attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions form what kind of bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Is sodium found in total cereal in the form of atoms or ions?
+1 ions.

Can you explain formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium ions have positive charge whereas chloride ions have negative charge. They alternatively form electrostatic bonds to create the NaCl lattice which is ionic.
When table salt is added to water what does it form?
Sodium ions (Na+) and chlorine ions (Cl-).
What are the ions in sodium chloride solution?
Na+ (sodium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). (There are also a small number of dissociated H+ and OH- ions as well)
Which form of sodium is more commonly found in nature sodium ion or sodium atoms?
The ions of course, due to its high reactivity
Why does barium nitrate in sodium hydroxide form a precipitate?
In aqueous solution, barium nitrate and sodium hydroxide undergo a double replacement reaction, in which barium ions combine with hydroxide ions to form barium hydroxide and sodium ions combine with nitrate ions to form sodium nitrate. Barium hydroxide is insoluble in water, so it precipitates out of solution. Ba(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) --> Ba(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
How does a bond form between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride?
Sodium atoms lose their single valence band electron becoming positive sodium ions. Chlorine atoms gain a single electron filling the empty space in their valence band becoming negative chloride ions. The oppositely charged ions attract each other electrostatically. The ions can readily form a solid cubic crystal held together by this electrostatic charge, but the ions freely disperse in water forming a solution of isolated sodium ions, isolated chloride ions, and water molecules.
