Because it donated it's valance electron to chlorine because of chlorine's much greater electronegativity.

Why does HCl produce positive hydrogen ions?
Because the chloride stole one of its electrons for its own negative charge when it dissolved, leaving the hydrogen with a positive charge. It's the most stable situation for those particles.
Can a positively charge hydrogen ends of water molecules attract chloride ions?
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction
What is the method to produce NACl?
Generally, because sodium is of a positive charge and chlorine, negative, they would readily react to form a salt, sodium chloride.
What is the electrical charge in the proton?
Protons produce a positive charge.
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
Do electrons have a negetive charge?
Yes! they are Electrons produce negative charge, and protons produce positive charge, while neutrons produce no charge at all.
What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
What is the charge all metals produce?
Cations are positive.
How is the bonding in calcium oxide different from the bonding in sodium chloride?
calcium is mdonating one electron to each chloride. This makes the calcium a positive charge and the chloride a negative charge. This is called ionic bonding (CaCl2)
Can you explain formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium ions have positive charge whereas chloride ions have negative charge. They alternatively form electrostatic bonds to create the NaCl lattice which is ionic.
When Na positive and Cl negative unite to form sodium chloride the compound formed has what charge?
its either positive or neutral
What is the valency of barium chloride ion?
Barium's charge is 2+ and Chlorine's charge is 1- so the formula would be BaCl2
