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-.
What are the cation and anion for aniline (C6H5NH2)?
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
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.
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
