A cation. A positively charged ion that is attracted towards the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
when sodium valence electron is transferred to chlorine , both atoms become ions . the sodium atom becomes a positive ion . the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion .
When a valence electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These ions form an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges.
The hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
First off sodium. Sodium is an alkali metal and when alkali metals react they lose an electron. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged. Chlorine is in the halogen family and when they react they gain one electron, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative charged. So, Sodium=Positive Chlorine=Negative I got this as an homework question yesterday, took like 5mins but i finally figured it out :)
Negative
negative
This atom become a cation (positive).
Whenever an ionic bond is formed the name of said molecule always begins with the name of the metallic element and ends with the name of the non-mettalic element ending with -ide. For example; sodium chloride.
no
An atom with single electron in its outermost shell
Well an electron is negative so negative i guess But The atom is always neutral because the number of protons = electons
An iron atom typically becomes a positively charged ion, known as Fe2+ or Fe3+, by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
