What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
What is the charge of AuCl3?
AuCl3, Gold Chloride, is an ionic compound. The total positive charge must equal the total negative charge. Ionic compounds are electrically neutral.
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 is the charge in a chloride ion?
Chloride ion in AlCl3 has a charge of -1. The compound AlCl3 is aluminum chloride, which is an inorganic compound that can react with water.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is what?
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
What is the electric charge of an ion compound?
The total positive charge of an ionic compound equally balances the total negative charge; therefore, the ionic compound is electrically neutral.
Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?
Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-
When ions with a positive charge bond with ions with a negative charge the resulting charge is?
This compound is of course neutral.
When ions having a positive charge from bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resultion compound is negative?
just put true
What is the overall charge of an ionic compound?
it is always equal to zero.The overall charge of a formula unit for an ionic compound is zero. The numbers of positive and negative ions are such that the sum of the positive charges and the negative charges is zero.
Is sodium chloride an ionic compound or binary ionic compound?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound ( a compound between a metal and a non-metal) It is also a binary compound as it contains two elements. So it can be described as an ionic compound or more precisely as a binary ionic compound. A binary compound is one that contains exactly two elements. Binary compounds may be ionic or covalent.
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
