What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shells?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in it's outer energy shell?
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in to its outer most energy shell ( reduction) it becomes the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^- = Cl^-(g)
A chlorina atom becomes a chloride in when this happens?
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
What happens when chlorine gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shells?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron what is it charge?
when the chlorine atom gains an electron its charge becomes -1. this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomic number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1.
What does is chloride?
Chloride or Cl- is the anion (Negative ion) formed by a single chlorine atom that gains an extra electron.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in it's outer energy shell?
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in to its outer most energy shell ( reduction) it becomes the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^- = Cl^-(g)
A chlorina atom becomes a chloride in when this happens?
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
When chlorine gains one electron what kind of ion is it?
Chloride
Does chlorine gains an electron from sodium?
in Sodium Chloride yes
