When, for example a sodium atom (a metal) meets a chlorine atom (a non-metal) the sodium looses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium iron Na+. Chlorine takes on sodiums electron to become to ion Cl-. It also gains a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable then the neutral atoms form which they were formed, and together they exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt).
Sodium chloride has no charge.
negative
Yes,Sodium chloride is conductive in water.It conducts electricity when dissolved in water.Because Na Cl(sodium chloride) is an ionic compound,it dissociates intopositively charged cations and negatively charged anions when dissolved in water.These ions are able to conduct electricity.Consequently a solution of sodium chloride can conduct electricity
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.
Sodium Chloride(NaCl) is not charged because sodium has a +1 charge while chloride has a -1 charge. This causes a balance in charge so the resulting compound is neutral(no charge)
Because the charges of these ions are reciprocical neutralized.
Ionic bond is present is salt. sodium and Chloride are ionically bonded to form Sodium chloride. Sodium is positively charged , While chlorine is negative charge
false
Sdoium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
Ionic compounds are neutral because the total positive charge and the total negative charge are equal but opposite, so the overall charge is zero. Take sodium chloride as an example. Na+ + Cl- ---> NaCl The sodium ion has a charge of 1+ and the chloride ion has a charge of 1-, so simple addition tells us that 1+ + 1- = 0

Sodium chloride contains sodium and chlorine ions, which are electrically charged atoms.
Sodium chloride is a compound, not an element; sodium chloride is electrically neutral.
