Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table.
When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)).
Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS.
Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION.
Collectively they are ions.
cation
Ionic bond between sodium cation and dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion. Covalent bonding between the atoms in dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion.
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
The chemical formula of sodium chromate is Na2CrO4. The sodium cation is Na+ and the chromate anion is (CrO4)2-.
is scandium a cation or an anion
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
CATION: Na+ ANION: F-
Sodium from the cation sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) from the anion.
When a sodium cation encounter a chlorine anion.
sodium hydroxide is itself a chemical. It can disassociate into a sodium cation and a hydroxide anion
Sodium cation (Na+) and oxalate anion (C2O42-)
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
Ionic bond between sodium cation and dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion. Covalent bonding between the atoms in dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion.
Because the formula unit is NaCl.In sodium chloride, sodium is a cation which is named first. It is followed by ame of anion which is chlorine.
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
Sodium is monovalent, the cation is Na+. Chlorine is monovalent, the anion is Cl-.
The formula unit NaCl contain one sodium atom.
Sodium and Chlorine form Sodium Chloride when they react. This is because the cation of sodium is added to the anion of chlorine.
