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
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 formula for the chloride ion is 'Cl^-' sometimes written as 'Cl-'
The chemical formula of ferric chloride is FeCl3, indicating that it contains one iron (Fe) atom and three chlorine (Cl) atoms per molecule.
