Chlorine froms Cl- when it gains one electron. It also is found in the following polyatomic ions: Hypochlorite (ClO-), chlorite (ClO2-), chlorate (ClO3-), and perchlorate (ClO4-). Both the single ion and the polyatomic ions (all of which are negative) bond with positive ions to make various substances, such as table salt.

Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No
What type of a chemical bond would expect between a calcium atom and a chlorine atom?
A calcium atom will readily form Ca2+ ions while a chlorine atom will readily form Cl- atoms. Thus, ionic bonding is the only bonding that can occur between a calcium and a chlorine atom. The equation for the reaction is as follows: Ca + Cl2 --> CaCl2
What elements from the body form positive ions?
Metals typically form positive ions. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals form positive ions in ionic obnding whilst the transition metals form cations in a lattice of delocalised electrons.
How many molecules does alcl3 dissociate into?
It does NOT form molecules. When AlCl3 'breakdown ' it form the IONS Al^(3+) & 3 Cl^(-) AlCl3(s) IS a molecule.
What are chlorine ions?
The ions of the element Cl (chlorine) are called chloriDe, formula Cl-
Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No
A What is the difference between an atom and an ion?
All ions are atoms. When the number of protons and electrons in an atom match, the charge is neutral. When there is an imbalance, the atom is an ion. Hydrogen typically has a charge of +1, whereas oxygen typically has a charge of -2. Oxygen therefore readily combines with two hydrogen atoms forming H2O, or water. Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge, while Chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge. These ions combine to form NaCl, or common table salt.
How can you get a negatively charged ion?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they are called ions. As electrons are negatively charged, it is when they gain electrons that they become negative ions, if they lose electrons they become positive ions. They can also form ions in pairs. for example sodium atom (NA) gives up it's outer electron and becomes an NA+ ion. the chlorine atom (CL) picks up the spare electron and becomes a CL- ion.
When table salt is added to water what does it form?
Sodium ions (Na+) and chlorine ions (Cl-).
What type of atom will As and Cl form?
AS + CL2-----> ASCL
What type of a chemical bond would expect between a calcium atom and a chlorine atom?
A calcium atom will readily form Ca2+ ions while a chlorine atom will readily form Cl- atoms. Thus, ionic bonding is the only bonding that can occur between a calcium and a chlorine atom. The equation for the reaction is as follows: Ca + Cl2 --> CaCl2
What is the negatively charge of an atom?
An electron.
The formula for chloride is?
Chloride is an atom of chlorine with a -1 charge. The atomic symbol for chlorine is Cl. Since the symbol for monotomic ions is just the charge written after the atom's atomic symbol, the symbol for chloride is just Cl-.
Is nacl a atom?
no. na is an atom. cl is an atom. together they form nacl, a diatomic molecule :) and a grammar lesson for free, its an atom, not a atom.
What are the ions in sodium chloride solution?
Na+ (sodium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). (There are also a small number of dissociated H+ and OH- ions as well)
