What is meant by Na plus Cl-?

Answer 1

the name for Na(HCO3) is sodium bicarbonate

Answer 2

Na^(+) is the sodium cation. (Na ; Nadium : Latin for sodium).

Cl^(-) is the chloride anion. (Cl ; Chlorine ).

However, When evaporated from a solution'

Na^(+)(aq) + Cl^(-)(aq) ==Evap'n==> NaCl(s)

NaCl is sodium chloride. It is a white solid. It is found in every kitchen as 'salt'.

Answer 3

Atoms tend towards full outer 'shells' or energy levels of electrons. For Na, a group 1 atom, it's easier to lose one electron, giving it a positive charge over-all and the full energy level. Cl is the opposite, being a group 7 atom, so gaining an electron is easier than losing 7, giving a negative charge.

Answer 4

Na+ and Cl- are the two ions that compose sodium chloride, or table salt. The "plus" refers to the lost electron that creates a cation or positive ion. That lost electron goes over to the chlorine to form a negative ion or an anion.

Answer 5

Na plus Cl- refers to sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt. It is the chemical compound formed when a sodium ion (Na+) and a chloride ion (Cl-) combine through ionic bonding. Sodium chloride is a crystalline substance that is essential for regulating fluid balance in the body and for enhancing the flavor of food.

Answer 6

an ionic bond is the bond between a metal and nonmetal. Na is a metal. Cl is a nonmetal.
