What kind of charge would a sodium atom have if it lost one electron?
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
What would happen if a sodium atom and a chlorine atom came into contact?
The sodium atom would transfer its outer electron to the chlorine atom, forming a sodium ion with a positive charge and a chloride ion with a negative charge. These ions would then be attracted to each other, forming an ionic bond to create sodium chloride, or table salt.
What kind of bond occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom to form sodium chloride?
Ionic bonding.
What kind of charge does each part of an atom have?
Neutron= neutral Protons=positive Electrons=negative
What kind of bond occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chlorine to form sodium chloride?
Ionic bond
What kind of bonds occur when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chlorine to form sodium chloride?
An Ionic bond.
What kind of bond occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chloride to form sodium chloride?
Ionic bond
What kind of charge does an electron in an atom have?
Negative
What kind of charge does an electron a atom have?
negative
What kind of electronic charge does an atom have?
negative
What kind of charge does an atom have after losing an electron?
This atom become a cation (positive).
When chlorine and sodium came together they have what kind of bond?
Chlorine and sodium form an ionic bond when they come together to make sodium chloride (table salt). This bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from the sodium atom to the chlorine atom, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
