What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
Is the charge of a zinc ion positive or negative?
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
Do ions have a positive or negative charge?
It depends on what ion it is. If it is a cation, then the ion has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
Are NaCl ionic?
Yes it is. Na is positive ion and Cl is negative ion.
What type of bonding would you expect salts such as NaCl and KNO3 to have?
Salts are ionic compounds, in which a positive ion forms an ionic bond with a negative ion.
Is the sodium ion in NaCl a electrically positive ion?
Yes.
What list pairs each element in table salt NaCL with the correct charge of its ion?
Na: positive; CL: negative
What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
Why do chemists write the formula for sodium chloride as NaCl?
Sodium chloride is NaCl because sodium (Na) forms the positive ion and chlorine (Cl) forms the negative ion and the two combine in a 1:1 ratio.
What force holds a molecule of NaCl together in an ionic bond?
NaCl is an ionic compound, not a molecule. The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion are held together by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
Ionic compound that contains a positive ion other than hydrogen and a negative ion other than hydroxide is a what?
it must be a salt as NaCl or oxidizing agent as KMnO4
What is a positive and negative ion?
