What does is chloride?
Chloride or Cl- is the anion (Negative ion) formed by a single chlorine atom that gains an extra electron.
Is cl- an atom?
No, Cl- is not an atom. It is an ion. Cl- represents a chlorine atom that has gained an electron, giving it a negative charge.
A bond formed due to the gain and loss of electrons between atoms is a?
Ionic bond because losing 1 electron makes the atom a +1 ion; gaining 1 electron makes the atom a -1 ion. A Cl atom attracts the outer shell electron of a Na atom forming a Na^+1 ion and a Cl^-1 ion. And that is NaCl , table salt!!!!
What is formed when an atoms gains and loses electrons?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion Examples: Na --> Na+ + e- Mg --> Mg2+ + 2e- When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion Examples: Cl + e- --> Cl- O + 2e- --> O2-
What is the name of the ion formed by a calcium atom?
The ion formed by a calcium atom is called a calcium ion, which has a 2+ charge.
What is Cl ionic symbol?
The ionic symbol for chloride is Cl-. It represents the chloride ion, which is formed when a chlorine atom gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The ion formed by a fluorine atom is called a?
The ion formed by a fluorine atom is called a fluoride ion, which has a charge of -1. It is formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of -?
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of chlorine (Cl). The neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, and when it gains one electron to form the chloride ion, it also has 17 electrons but with a 1- charge.
What kind of ion does sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transformed from one to another?
Na+ and Cl- ions are formed, which then results in the formation of the ionic compound NaCl.
The ion formed by an arsenic atom is?
The ion formed by an arsenic atom is As3- (arsenide ion) when it gains three electrons or As3+ (arsenite ion) when it loses three electrons.
When is An ion is formed when an atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
Is chloride ion a compound?
No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.
