How many electrons are in an electron cloud of chlorine atom?

A chlorine atom typically has 17 electrons in its electron cloud.


What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?

A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.

When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?

When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.


How many in a charged chlorine atom?

A charged chlorine atom, or a chlorine ion, would have gained or lost an electron. If it gained an electron, it would have a charge of -1. If it lost an electron, it would have a charge of +1.


How chlorine atom does become an anion?

A chlorine atom becomes an anion by gaining one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. This extra electron gives the chlorine atom a negative charge, making it an anion.


When reacting with an atom of chlorine an atom of lithium will lose an electron and become a litium?

In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.


Which process change a chlorine atom into a chloride ion?

chlorine atom will first convert to the gaseous chlorine atom which will then add one electron to form chloride ion.


What is the chloride ion and chlorine atom electron configuration?

The chloride ion (Cl-) has the same electron configuration as argon (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6) because it has gained an electron compared to a neutral chlorine atom. The chlorine atom has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5.
