As Chlorine it is an ATOM.
However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
What else can I help you with?
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Na and C1- are called?
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
What are the cation and anion for aniline (C6H5NH2)?
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
What is the cation and anion of Potassium cyanide?
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion-anion bond?
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.

Na and C1- are called?
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
Is chloride an anion?
The chlorine ion C1 is considered a type of cation. It is considered a cation due to its ability to gain electrons.
When does a ionic bond form in sodium chloride?
When a sodium cation encounter a chlorine anion.
The bonds in NaCl form because?
Because sodium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity; sodium become a cation and chlorine an anion.
What are the specific charges of sodium and chloride?
Sodium is monovalent, the cation is Na+. Chlorine is monovalent, the anion is Cl-.
Why is sodium chloride written like this?
Because the formula unit is NaCl.In sodium chloride, sodium is a cation which is named first. It is followed by ame of anion which is chlorine.

The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
What is the cation and anion of Potassium cyanide?
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is tranferred from one to the other?
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
Which atom becomes the anion in calcium chloride?
In CaCl2, Cl- is the anion while Ca2+ is the cation.
Is a protein a cation or anion?
Anion
