A chlorine atom gains an electron when it becomes an ion. This means it has been reduced because there is a decrease in oxidation state from 0 to -1.

When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and the chlorine atom become one a valves electron is transferred from one to another?
The sodium atom becomes a singly positively charged cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a singly negatively charged anion.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What is known about the number of protons vs the number of electrons?
a neutral atom will have equal amounts of protons and electrons. This number can change as the atom is oxidized or reduced in chemical reactions
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
If a neutral atom becomes positively charged has it been oxidized or reduced?
With the loss of electron a neutral atom becomes positive ion and loss of electron is known as oxidation.
In the reaction of calcium with chlorine which atom is oxidized?
calcium + chlorine yields calcium chloride oxidation means loss of electrons, it's the calcium atom the oxidizes into the calcium cation +2. the chlorine is being reduced from chlorine neutral to chloride -1 anion.
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
Which atom in sodium chloride is reduced?
The chlorine atom.
When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.
When a electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen atom as the result of an oxidation-reduction reaction the molecule becomes?
oxidized
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one the the other?
The sodium atom becomes a sodium cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a chloride anion.
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is tranferred from one to the other?
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
A chlorina atom becomes a chloride in when this happens?
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
