What happens to an atom when it loses a electron?
When an Atom Loses an electron (Negative (-) particle), it then contains One more proton than electrons and becomes a Positive (+) particle or An 'Ion' and, in this case will have a Positive Charge (+).It gets this way when it reacts with another atom like Chlorine which gains an electron to become a Negative (-) 'Ion'.Example: Sodium, Na, becomes Na(1+) Ion by losing an electron.Chlorine, Cl, becomes Cl(1-) Ion by gaining an electron.The 2 Ions will chemically combine to form a Neutral (no charge) compound of Salt, NaCl.
Which two elements makes up most of the dissolved solids in sea water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen H20 is the element compound of water.
Calculate the mass of chlorine that can be formed from 50g of sodium chloride?
50 g sodium chloride (NaCl) contain 30,167 g chlorine.
What is Na and CL?
Na is sodium, and Cl is chlorine. They are two elements, and when combined form Sodium Chloride, or table salt. Na is sodium, and Cl is chlorine. They are two elements, and when combined form Sodium Chloride, or table salt.
Do metallic bonds share electrons equally?
Only when they have identical electronegativities. Homogeneous metals such as iron only, all the atoms share electrons equally. When the electronegativities differ significantly in allows, the metals change their character. An example of this is steel, where soft and malleable iron becomes hard and brittle, because of the presence of other metals such as manganese.
In salt what is the nature of the bond between sodium and chlorine?
The bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic. The sodium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, or cation, with a charge of +1. The chlorine atom receives the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion, with a charge of -1. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
If chlorine receives an electron from sodium this would be an example of what kind of bond?
Ionic bond
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.
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
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 .
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred one to the other?
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 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 (:
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.
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
Sodium and chlorine can bond together. Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron. What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
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.
