What else can I help you with?
What kind of atoms or ions are contained in the compound NaCl?
Two kinds: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).
Atoms of an element can have different numbers of protons?
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
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.
How is NaCi formed?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is typically formed through the chemical reaction between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Sodium atoms donate an electron to chlorine atoms, resulting in the formation of Na+ ions and Cl- ions that attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming salt crystals.
What are atoms called that hsve the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons?
Ions. They are charged molecules or charged atoms.
What redox reaction would most likely occur if silver and copper metal were added to a solution that contained silver and copper ions?
The most likely redox reaction that would occur is the reduction of silver ions to silver metal by copper atoms, with copper atoms oxidizing to copper ions in the process. This reaction would lead to the displacement of silver ions by copper atoms in the solution.
What are the differences and the similarities on ions and atoms?
Atoms are neutral particles containing equal numbers of protons and electrons, while ions have gained or lost electrons, causing them to be positively or negatively charged. Both ions and atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons, but ions have an unequal number of protons and electrons, leading to their charge.
What type of bond between sodium and chloride in table salt NaCI?
Ionic bond - sodium atoms lose an electron to form positive ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negative ions. These oppositely charged ions are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
Electronically Do neutral atoms have equal numbers of electrons and protons?
Yes, this is the pure elimental form of an atom. Atoms with a charge are called Ions.
Does NaCl have atoms or ions?
it has both atoms as well as ions.
Charged atoms are called?
Charged atoms are called ions.
What are numbers assigned to atoms and ions to keep track of electrons?
Numbers assigned to atoms and ions to keep track of electrons are called oxidation numbers. They represent the apparent charge of an atom or ion in a compound, assuming all shared electrons are assigned to the more electronegative atom. Oxidation numbers help in balancing chemical equations and predicting the behavior of substances in reactions.
