What else can I help you with?
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What is the ion formed by chlorine called?
The ion formed by chlorine is the "chloride" ion
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
If Chlorine receives an electron from Sodium then Chlorine becomes a(n)?
The chloride becomes Cl-1 . When an ion is negative, it becomes an anion (or A Negative ION).
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
The chlorine atom becomes an ion with a larger radius when it forms an ionic bond with sodium. This is because it gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, causing the electron cloud to expand.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
Chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. It accepts an electron to complete its octet and becomes a chlorine ion (Cl-). What is the nature of this chlorine ion?
The chlorine ion (Cl-) formed by accepting an electron has a negative charge because it has gained an extra electron to achieve a stable octet configuration. This ion is now negatively charged and is called an anion.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
Actually, when sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine, the sodium atom donates one electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion. The sodium ion becomes Na+ and the chloride ion becomes Cl-.
What will be the charge for chlorine when it becomes ions?
A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.
