When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
Sodium would be sticking to the cathode and chlorine gas will be liberated right from the anode region. This is because sodium ion is positive and chlorine ion would be negative by polarity.
1 molecule of Sodium Chloride would be formed.
The sodium atom loses its valence electron to the chlorine atom forming a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion. The two are attracted to each other because of their opposite charges.
positively charged cations surround each chlorine ion the most closely
A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
Sodium is in group one, chlorine in group 7. This means that a Sodium ion has a charge of +1, and a Chlorine ion has a charge of -1.
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
Because Sodium (Na2) is positively charged and Chlorine(Cl2) has a negative charge.
Sodium is oxidized to Na+ ion and Chlorine is reduced to Cl- ion. Sodium chloride is the final product.
sodium ion, chlorine ion
A sodium ion. Cation. Na+ A chlorine ion. Anion Cl- Forms NaCl, sodium chloride.
sodium ion and chlorine ion
Sodium would be sticking to the cathode and chlorine gas will be liberated right from the anode region. This is because sodium ion is positive and chlorine ion would be negative by polarity.
1 molecule of Sodium Chloride would be formed.
a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion.
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 .
