How are sodium and chlorine ions different from salt molecules?

A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.


In salt what is the nature of the bond between sodium and chlorine?

The bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic. The sodium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, or cation, with a charge of +1. The chlorine atom receives the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion, with a charge of -1. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.


How many electron are transferred in the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine NaCl?

Only one, from sodium to chlorine.


Why does the transfer of an electron occur between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom?

Chlorine is extremely electronegative and will steal electrons from the valence shell of sodium. When chlorine steals the electron, both sodium and chlorine have full valence shells.


Does chlorine gains an electron from sodium?

in Sodium Chloride yes


What is the sodium that reacts with chlorine by giving its outermost electron to chlorine?

the sodium (Na) atom gives its single outermose electron to chlorine to form two ions of different charge.


When sodium and chlorine react the outermost electron of the sodium atom is?

Valence electron - Sodium loses one electron to form a sodium ion (valence of 1).


When sodium interacts with chlorine sodium loses an electron while chlorine gains one this interactions forms?

Sodium chloride


How many Chlorine electrons are in the outer shell of a sodium atom?

None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
