Chlorine becomes a negative ion in the process of bonding; ionization and bonding are simultaneous, so no, it does not happen before bonding.

Would sulfur become a positive ion before bonding yes or no?

No. Sulfur typically forms negative ions (sulfide ions) by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What type of bonding ionic or covalent would you find in aluminium and chlorine?

The electronegativity difference between Al and Cl is 1.55. This is borderline covalent/ionic. Aluminium trichloride solid has six coordinate aluminum atoms. As you heat it just before the melting point the conductivity rises then falls as the solid melts. In the molten state aluminum trichloride is dimeric, Al2Cl6, with four coordinate aluminium atoms. The explanation is that the solid is more "ionic" and ions become mobile just before the melting point. At the melting point the neutral dimer is produced and the conductivity falls to zero. The bonding mode probably does not change in all of this


Chlorine is used to kill bacteria in the water at water treatment plants. This chlorine can be harmful to some ocean species. Based on this information what other step must be taken in the treatment o?

To mitigate the harmful effects of chlorine on ocean species, water treatment plants can implement additional steps such as dechlorination processes to remove residual chlorine before discharging treated water into the ocean. This can help protect marine life from the negative impacts of chlorine exposure.


When gaining electrons does an atom become negative or positive?

Gaining an electron that has a negative charge would negatively charge the atom.


Can you put a perm in your hair while there is chlorine in it?

Rule #1 : no wetting including washing & swimming 5 days before putting a perm in it. Chances are the chlorine would still be in your hair and will react to the perm chemicals and result in hair loss and or the perm will not take to your hair. Also no wetting 24 hrs prior to applying the perm or the chemicals will not take to the hair and it woukd be a waste of time.

Will nitrogen become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

No


Does nitrogen become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

No, nitrogen does not become a negative ion before bonding. Nitrogen typically forms covalent bonds, in which it shares electrons with other atoms.


Does aluminum become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

No, aluminum does not become a negative ion; like all metals, it forms a positive ion.


Would sulfur become a positive ion before bonding yes or no?

No. Sulfur typically forms negative ions (sulfide ions) by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Does carbon become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

no, because carbon can neither donate or accept electrons , since it has 4 electrons in its outermost shellif it donates the remaining electrons fall into the nucleus as the number of protons is 4 more.And if it accepts nucleus cannot bare 4 more electrons. so it just forms co-valent bond with other atoms which doesnot need to become an ion before bonding.

Would carbon become a positive ion before bonding?

There are some unstable compounds which are formed as transitional compounds of multistep mechanisms, and they are known as carbocations.


What happens to a poisonous chlorine gas if a proton is added?

You'd still have poisonous chlorine gas, and it would be as toxic as it was before you added the neutron. But there is more news, and it's bad. By adding a neutron to each of the atoms, you'd end up with unstable isotopes of chlorine, which means that all your chlorine gas is now radioactive and presents a radiation hazard as well as being as poisonous as it was originally.


Do free chlorine need to be lowered before swimming?

No it does not have to be. It is just a measure of how usable the chlorine is.
