When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
What is an example of a negative ion?
A positive ion is an ion with no negative charges.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.

What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)

If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
When a valence electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These ions form an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges.
How an atom becomes postively or negatively charged when it loses or gains electrons?
An atom is electrically neutral only because the positively charged protons in the nucleus are balanced by the negatively charged electrons orbiting them. Therefore if an atom looses or gains an electrons, the balance is disrupted and an atom overall becomes positively or negatively charged. Loss of electrons will make the atom positvely charged and vice versa.
What is an example of a negative ion?
A positive ion is an ion with no negative charges.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
sodium becomes positive ( as it loses a negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single + charge. chlorine becomes negative ( as it gains an extra negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single - charge. NaCl -------> Na+ Cl-
How many electrons are transferred in the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine in Na Cl?
In the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine in NaCl, one electron is transferred from the sodium atom to the chlorine atom. Sodium becomes positively charged and chlorine becomes negatively charged, forming the ionic bond.
