∙ 13y agoWhen an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons (negatively charged) than protons (positively charged).

∙ 12y agothe Chlorine ion is attracted to the Sodium ion because chlorine ion is negative and the sodium ion is positive. positive and negative ions are always attracted. hence the two are attracted.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoSodium loses an electron to chlorine making the sodium Na+ and the chlorine Cl-. The opposite will not occur in this example.

What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valance electron is transferred one to the other?
First off sodium. Sodium is an alkali metal and when alkali metals react they lose an electron. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged. Chlorine is in the halogen family and when they react they gain one electron, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative charged. So, Sodium=Positive Chlorine=Negative I got this as an homework question yesterday, took like 5mins but i finally figured it out :)
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
sodium becomes positive ( as it loses a negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single + charge. chlorine becomes negative ( as it gains an extra negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single - charge. NaCl -------> Na+ Cl-

positively
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
What happens in the combination of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt?
A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged.?
negatively
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged?
negatively
What involves the attraction of two oppositely charged ions?
In Ionic bonding, a metal and non - metal become ions and attract each other. The metal will lose an electron and become positively charged and the non-metal will gain an electron and become negatively charged. As opposite charges attract they form an ionic compound.
If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
How can linthium bond with chorine?
An electron from the Lithium is donated to the Chlorine (so both atoms have a full outer shell) - this means they become Li+ and Cl- , which are charged particles so they attract each other.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become charged?
The chlorine atom would become a negatively charged chlorine anion because it has an extra electron, and the lithium atom would become a positively charged cation because it has lost one electron.
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
