What ions most closely surround each chlorine ion?
positively charged cations surround each chlorine ion the most closely
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-.
What change does the sodium atom have after combining with chlorine?
In presence of chlorine, sodium atoms will discharge electrons to give sodium ions to combine with chloride ions followed by forming a lattice of 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
What are the ions for sodium and chlorine?
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
What ions most closely surround each chlorine ion?
positively charged cations surround each chlorine ion the most closely
What are the ions in each compound of sodium chloride?
Sodium - Na+ Chlorine - Cl-

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.
What is sodium chloride made up from?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
The attraction between sodium ions and chlorine ions forms?
An ionic bond
Which two elements makes up most of the dissolved solids in sea water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen H20 is the element compound of water.
Why does sodium make ionic bond with chlorine?
Common salt is NACl and contains both sodium and chlorine. It can therefre be used as a source of chlorine (electrolysis) and sodium compounds.
Which element loses electrons in sodium chloride?
The chloride ions lose a single electron each to become chlorine.
Is sodium chloride an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine formed by ionic bonding of sodium ions and chlorine ions.
What happends when sodium chloride dessolves in water?
The sodium and chloride ions dissociate in a process called solvation, in which water molecules surround the individual sodium and chloride ions.
