Well...it's just chlorine with 2 extra electrons. (4S1 is the new valence electron)

I seriously doubt you or anybody you know will ever observe that, though. If it's made an appearance in your homework, I can only assume your teacher is a bit of a sadist or just doesn't know a lot about chemistry.

What is the charge on X in XCl2?

The charge on X in XCl2 is +2. This is because chlorine typically has a -1 charge and since there are two chlorine atoms in XCl2, the total negative charge from chlorine is -2, therefore X must have a +2 charge to balance it out.


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge.?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.


Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?

Chlorine's charge would be negative because it gained an electron, which results in it having an extra negative charge.


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge?

The chlorine atom in a carbon-chlorine bond is typically assigned the delta negative charge. This is because chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, leading to an uneven sharing of electrons in the bond, with the chlorine atom attracting electron density towards itself and developing a partial negative charge.


What charge does the chlorine ion have?

it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.


What is the ionic charge on chlorine?

Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.


What is the charge in chlorine ion?

It is one negative (-)


Why 17cl- has a negative charge?

The negative sign implies that chlorine has gained an electron, which chlorine will easily do in a chemical reaction. The negative charge means the electrons now outnumber the protons 18-17, hence the negative 1 charge. (remember, electrons are negative.)


Does chlorine have a neitive charge or poositive charge?

The chloride ion has a negative charge of -1.


Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?

generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.


What is the electrical charge of the chlorine ion?

A "cation" carries positive (+) charge. An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge. The charge carried in may be single or multiple.


After Chlorine accepts the electron from sodium what is its charge?

After chlorine accepts the electron from sodium, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
