Na+ and Cl- together NaCl (neutral), equal number of pos. and neg. charges add up to neutral (zero charge): so, it's true

What atoms combine and the type of bonding for sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionically bonded compound formed by the reaction of sodium and chlorine atoms. In the compound, each sodium atom that reacted becomes a positively charged sodium cation and each chlorine atoms that reacted becomes a negatively charged chloride anion.
Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?
False - the negatively charged chlorine cancels out the positively charged sodium. Therefore salt is a neutral, uncharged compound.
What is ionic formulae?
An example is what we call a salt - say solid crystalline sodium chloride - dissolved in water it becomes both types of ions: the sodium atom becomes a positively charged atom / ion while the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged atom / ion.
What molecule formula is ionic?
An example is what we call a salt - say solid crystalline sodium chloride - dissolved in water it becomes both types of ions: the sodium atom becomes a positively charged atom / ion while the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged atom / ion.
When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative?
No. The charge on the salt is neutral.
What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
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 happens to a material when it loses electron?
a it becomes positively b it becomes negatively charge
What happens when a positively charged electron becomes neutral?
Electrons are negatively charged. They cannot be positively charged or neutral.
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
