Definitely NO! Chlorine is one of the most chemically active atoms. It is the second most active of the Halogen family of elements. Even common table salt is a compound of Sodium and Chlorine called Sodium Choride. (NaCl) Chorine, in its natural state it is a gas.

What is an example of an atom that only exists in its molecular form?
An example of an atom that only exists in its molecular form would be oxygen. It is most commonly found as an O2 molecule.
Is neon an example of an atom that only exists in its molecular form?
No. Neon exists only as individual atoms and never forms molecules.
What is an example of a atom that only exists in its molecular form?
Oxygen atoms are always paired into a binary molecule.
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
When a electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
Do Chlorine and Oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. There are several compounds of chlorine and oxygen, but all of them are molecular.
What is the formula for chlorine gas?
Chlorine is an element. Its diatomic molecular form is indicated by the symbol Cl2
Which process change a chlorine atom into a chloride ion?
chlorine atom will first convert to the gaseous chlorine atom which will then add one electron to form chloride ion.
Describe how a sodium atom form a bond with a chlorine atom?
The bonding mechanism between sodium and chlorine atom occurs through harpoon mechanism
What bond is formed when a chlorine atom comes in contact with another chlorine atom?
A nonpolar covalent bond forms when two chlorine atoms combine to form a chlorine (Cl2) molecule.
What kinds of bonds occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chlorine to form sodium chlorine?
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds.
