Cl2 is a diatomic gaseous element
the molecular formula for the molecule Cl is Cl
One Cl means it is one atom and that means it is NOT a molecule,
so it has no 'molecular formula' at all.
Molecules exist of at least TWO atoms, bound to each other
the chemical formula for carbon is C and for chlorine is Cl.
There is no chlorine chloride. The formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
Two atoms in the formula unit (not molecule): Na and Cl.
Cl2 everyone it is not that hard, 2 x chlorine is Cl2
There is no formula. Cl stands for Chlorine, which is an element on its own; it can be incorporated into a formula such as NaCl (table salt)
To write the chemical formula for the covalent compound formed by chlorine atoms (Cl), you would write "Cl₂" since chlorine forms a diatomic molecule. The formula Cl₂ indicates that two chlorine atoms are covalently bonded together.
The ion formula for chloride is Cl-.
There is one covalent bond in a chlorine molecule. The formula for a chlorine molecule is Cl2, which means that there are two chlorine atoms bonded together per molecule. The structural formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl-Cl, in which the line in between the symbols for the two atoms represents a single covalent bond.
cl / H - C - cl / cl
The formula for the chloride ion is 'Cl^-' sometimes written as 'Cl-'
CoCl2 is a formula unit, as it represents the chemical formula for cobalt (II) chloride, which is an ionic compound consisting of cobalt ions (Co2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). It is not a diatomic molecule, which would consist of two atoms of the same element bonded together.
The chemical formula of ferric chloride is FeCl3, indicating that it contains one iron (Fe) atom and three chlorine (Cl) atoms per molecule.
