When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
What is a negatively charged atom of chlorine called?
chloride ion
How many electrons in a neutral atom of chlorine?
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
How many valence electrons would be found in an atom of chlorine?
A chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
What is a negatively charged atom of chlorine called?
chloride ion
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.
Is Chlorine a neutral atom?
Yes, Chlorine, like any other element, is a neutral atom, but it can form charged ions.
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
What happens when a chlorine shares 1 electrons with an atom of hydrogen?
Actually chlorine and hydrogen will not share electrons; the chlorine atom steals the electron from the hydrogen atom, creating two separate oppositely charged ions.
How many protons does a neutural atom of chlorine have?
An atom of chlorine has 17 protons.
An atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium How many protons does an atom of chlorine have?
Chlorine has 17 protons.
What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
