when sodium and chlorine come together to create salt they have a strong attraction between them, due to that sodium is a cation and chlorine is a anion. so they just end up sticking to each other. kind of like a magnet (+-)attract, (++)(--)repel

What are the scientific symbols for salt?
This depends upon the salt. Common table salt is NaCl or Sodium Chloride. The molecule has an ionic bond; the sodium forms a positive ion and the chlorine forms a negative ion.
When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative?
No. The charge on the salt is neutral.
What elements do salt contain?
Regular salt is made up of two elements from the periodic table. These two periodic elements are chlorine and sodium.
What is the non metal in table salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium.
What happens in an ionic bond formation between sodium and chlorine?
You create something called sodium chloride, or common table salt.
What happens to chlorine when it gains n atom from sodium?
It forms an ionic bond with sodium creating Salt, which has a lattice shape
How do elements sodium and chlorine differ from the table salt form?
sodium is not eatible nor is chlorine. Chlorine is a chemical and when mixed with the sodium it forms a new eatible compound and this is salt or table salt.
What happens when sodium and chlorine join?
It becomes salt, NaCl.
What harmless substance forms from the reaction of sodium and chlorine gas?
Sodium Chloride which is table salt
What two elements make up the compound salt?
Sodium and chlorine. Table salt is sodium chloride.Common table salt is composed of one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. Its chemical name, therefore, is sodium chloride, with the formula NaCl.
A chlorine atom will steal an electron from a sodium atom. The result is called an between the sodium and chlorine ions. this forms sodium chloride known as salt?
ionic bond
Why does sodium make ionic bond with chlorine?
Common salt is NACl and contains both sodium and chlorine. It can therefre be used as a source of chlorine (electrolysis) and sodium compounds.
What are the scientific symbols for salt?
This depends upon the salt. Common table salt is NaCl or Sodium Chloride. The molecule has an ionic bond; the sodium forms a positive ion and the chlorine forms a negative ion.
What is the chemical composition of table salt?
Salt is an ionic compound formed by the action of an acid on a substance. Equal numbers of sodium and chlorine atoms combine to form salt. Each sodium atom loses an electron, becoming positively charge, and each chlorine atom gains an electron, becoming negatively charged. The equation for salt is: NaCl
When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative?
No. The charge on the salt is neutral.
What happens to sodiums valence electron when sodium bonds with chlorine to form table salt?
The electron is transferred to chlorine.
What common alkali element paired with chlorine provides seasoning for foods?
Sodium which forms sodium chloride or common salt
