Well...it's just chlorine with 2 extra electrons. (4S1 is the new valence electron)
I seriously doubt you or anybody you know will ever observe that, though. If it's made an appearance in your homework, I can only assume your teacher is a bit of a sadist or just doesn't know a lot about chemistry.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
-1, but since there are two chlorines the charge is -2.
Group-17 elements have negative 1 charge. Examples are chlorine, bromine, iodine etc.
The answer is 18 electrons.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
It is one negative (-)
The negative sign implies that chlorine has gained an electron, which chlorine will easily do in a chemical reaction. The negative charge means the electrons now outnumber the protons 18-17, hence the negative 1 charge. (remember, electrons are negative.)
The chloride ion has a negative charge of -1.
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
It is -1 (negative one)
There are seven.
Non it is neutral
-1, but since there are two chlorines the charge is -2.
It would have a charge of -1 (negative one).
Chlorine will form a negative ion with a charge of -1 because it gains one electron to complete its octet.
