its either positive or neutral


What is the Oxidation number of cr plus 3?

The oxidation number of Cr in Cr3+ is +3. This is because each Cl ion has a charge of -1, and since the compound is neutral, the total positive charge from Cr must equal the total negative charge from the Cl ions.


What ratio of atoms are in NaCI?

There are no atoms in NaCl . (Sodium Chloride) . They are all combined together as ions. Na^(+) & Cl^(-) The ratio of positive ion to negative ions is 1:1 NB An atom is an neutral (uncharged) species. An ion is an atom that has lost or gained electrons, and thereby becoming a charged species.


What are spectator ions in Na plus plus OH- plus Cl- H2O plus Na plus plus Cl?

Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.


What is the name of the compound when Na plus and CI-1 are combined?

The compound formed when Na+ and Cl- are combined is called sodium chloride (NaCl).


Why is sodium chloride neutral in water?

Because the sodium chloride salt has equal amount of Na+ and Cl-. NaCl has the relation of 1:1. This is the reaction that happens when you dissolve NaCl in water: NaCl <---> Na+ + Cl- As you can see equal amount of positive and negative ions is formed.


What are the charges in the ion NaCl?

The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral; the solid NaCl is neutral. After dissociation are formed the cation Na+ and the anion Cl-.


Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?

Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-


What is Na plus CI when they become ions and combine to form neutral compounds?

When sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form a neutral compound, they undergo ionic bonding. Sodium loses one electron to become a positively charged ion (Na⁺), while chlorine gains that electron to become a negatively charged ion (Cl⁻). These oppositely charged ions attract each other and form sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt, resulting in a neutral compound overall due to the balance of positive and negative charges.


What is the formula for Na positive cl negative?

the formula for Na positive and Cl negative is NaCl.Commonly called as table SALT


Is CL an acid or base?
