When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
When chlorine gains an electron what achieves a complete octet?
when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases
How many electrons does chlorine gain to make a noble gas?
Chlorine gains 1 electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon.
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron?
It becomes negative
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 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.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shells?
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
