When sodium and chlorine are chemically combined what name is given to the substance formed?
sodium chloride
Why sodium's electron and chlorine's electron attract each other?
The electrons do not attract each other. The single valence electron of a sodium atom is given up to a chlorine atom. This results in the sodium atom forming a positive sodium ion, and the chlorine atom forming a negative chloride ion. The oppositely charged ions form an electrostatic attraction, which forms the neutral ionic compound of sodium chloride.
What type of bond between sodium and chlorine?
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
Is silver chloride soluble in sodium chloride?
Given that pure sodium chloride is a solid at room temperature, no it is not soluble.
Why is sodium chloride given to people?
Sodium is a chemical element indispensable for life and the source is the sodium chloride intake; sodium is essential for the blood system.
What is NaCI composed of?
NaCl is composed of two elements viz. sodium and chlorine. NaCl is sodium chloride by name. It is the common table/cooking salt used in food preparation. The two atoms are bonded together IONICALLY. The sodium atom becomes the sodium ion , with a charge of Na(+) and the Chlorine atom becomes the chloride ion wth a charge of Cl(-) Since the charged are opposite ( +) & (=) and there is only one each of charges , they attract together like the North & South poles of a Magnet. Sodium is given the symbol 'Na' ,from its Latin name of ';Nadium'. Also the chlorine becomes the CHLORIDE in the name.
Given That Sodium Chloride Is 39.0 Sodium By Mass How Many Grams Of Sodium Chloride Are Needed To Have 750mg Of Na Present?
The answer is 1,105 g.
What name is given to compounds like copper chloride and sodium chloride?
Salts
Why does metallic sodium react violently with water while sodium chloride does not?
Sodium is an element which has one electron in its outer electron shell, and which can obtain a more stable electron configuration by getting rid of that electron. This causes it to undergo chemical reactions with other elements such as oxygen or chlorine, which need to acquire electrons in order to obtain a more stable electron configuration. If sodium reacts with water, it is reacting with the oxygen in the water molecule. In the case of sodium chloride, the sodium has already reacted with chlorine to form that compound, and has given up its outer electron, so it no longer needs to react with oxygen in water.
What is the name for compound NaCI?
Actually its NaCl (with a lowercase L). It is sodium chloride, also known as table salt.
What is the common name given to a white substance called sodium chloride?
salt
Why is sodium chloride 0.9 percent percent given?
This is a isotonic saline solution.
