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.
What else can I help you with?
Na and C1- are called?
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
What is the cation to anion ratio in sodium carbonate?
The cation to anion ratio in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is 2:1. This means that each formula unit of sodium carbonate contains two sodium cations (Na+) and one carbonate anion (CO3^2-).
What are the cations and anions of the ionic compound NaNO3?
The cation in NaNO3 is Na+ (sodium ion) and the anion is NO3- (nitrate ion).
What is the correct order to use in writing the name of an compound?
The correct order is to write the name of the compound by listing the cation first followed by the anion. For example, for the compound sodium chloride, "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
What is the correct order to use in writing the name of an ionic compound?
The name of an ionic compound typically consists of the cation followed by the anion. For example, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl), "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
What is the cation for sodium fluoride?
The cation for sodium fluoride is Na+ (sodium ion).
Na and C1- are called?
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
What is the cation to anion ratio in sodium carbonate?
The cation to anion ratio in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is 2:1. This means that each formula unit of sodium carbonate contains two sodium cations (Na+) and one carbonate anion (CO3^2-).
How was sodium chloride named?
Sodium from the cation sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) from the anion.
When does a ionic bond form in sodium chloride?
When a sodium cation encounter a chlorine anion.
What chemicals are there in Sodium hydroxide?
sodium hydroxide is itself a chemical. It can disassociate into a sodium cation and a hydroxide anion
What are the cations and anions of the ionic compound NaNO3?
The cation in NaNO3 is Na+ (sodium ion) and the anion is NO3- (nitrate ion).
What is the correct order to use in writing the name of an compound?
The correct order is to write the name of the compound by listing the cation first followed by the anion. For example, for the compound sodium chloride, "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
What is the correct order to use in writing the name of an ionic compound?
The name of an ionic compound typically consists of the cation followed by the anion. For example, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl), "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
Why is sodium chloride written like this?
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.
Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation name followed by the anion name?
Yes, for binary ionic compounds, the cation (metal) name comes first followed by the anion (nonmetal) name. The anion name typically has an "-ide" ending. For example, sodium chloride is composed of the cation sodium and the anion chloride.
What are the specific charges of sodium and chloride?
Sodium is monovalent, the cation is Na+. Chlorine is monovalent, the anion is Cl-.
