Can a positively charge hydrogen ends of water molecules attract chloride ions?
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction
Is calcium chloride a sulfite?
No, calcium chloride is CaCl2 containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). A sulfite must contain sulfite ions (SO32-)
How do potassium chloride particles bond to water particles?
Potassium chloride is an ionic compound, composed of positive potassium ions and negative chloride ions. When it dissolves in water, the ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. Water is a covalent compound, but it is polar, which means that one end (the oxygen) is a little bit negative, and the other is a little bit positive. The slightly negative ends are attracted to the positive potassium ions and the slightly positive ends are attracted to the chloride ions. These are electrostatic attractions.
Which ion is attracted to which electrode?
because chloride ions being negatively charged have got a tendency to get attracted to positive ions( follows from coloumbs law) and since positive electrode contains positive ions so chloride free ions in solution gets attracted to the positive electrode....
Why does sodium chloride not dissolve in non-polar solvents?
because sodium chloride itself is madee up of positive sodium and negative chloride ions
Can a positively charge hydrogen ends of water molecules attract chloride ions?
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction
What force would you expect between sodium ions and chloride ions in a crystal of sodium chloride?
(+)--(-) positive and negative
What types of ions are presented in salt?
In a slat positive ions and negative ions. In common salt, sodium chloride, sodium ions, Na+ and chloride ions Cl-
Is calcium caltrate the same as calcium?
No the chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained an electron and has a -1 charge. Because it is charged the chloride ion must be accompanied by a positive ion of some sort to balance the charge. Calcium chloride is a compound that contains chloride ions (Cl-) and calcium ions (Ca2+) and has the formula CaCl2
What happens sodium chloride dissolves in water?
It separates into positive sodium and negative chloride ions.
Is calcium chloride a sulfite?
No, calcium chloride is CaCl2 containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). A sulfite must contain sulfite ions (SO32-)

Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity when melted?
Yes. It forms sodium positive ions (cations) and negative chloride ions (anions).
Will calcium chloride react with chloride?
Calcium chloride will not further react with chloride ions.
How many chloride ions are in calcium chloride?
The formula unit for calcium chloride is CaCl2. There are two chloride ions in one formula unit of calcium chloride. We can also say that there are two moles chloride ions in one mole of CaCl2.
What holds the ions in sodium chloride together?
The positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions attract each other.
Can you explain formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium ions have positive charge whereas chloride ions have negative charge. They alternatively form electrostatic bonds to create the NaCl lattice which is ionic.
