When a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom does Na atom gains or lose one electrons to form a Na ion with a positive or negative charge?
Sodium(Na ; nadium) is a group (I) metal. The Group (I) metals all readily ionise, by losing one electron, to form the sodium ion (Na^+).
In the Periodic Table sodium has the atomic No. 11. This means it has 11 protons, ( 11 pluses 11+) . When it loses one electron there are now only 10 electrons remaining ( 10 minuses 10-).
Hence doin a little sum
11+ & 10 - = 1+ Hence thereason why the sodium ion has the symbol (Na^+).
Conversely Chlorine(Cl ) is a group (7) non-metal. The Group (7) non-metals all readily have electron affinity, by gaining one electron, to form the chloride ion (Cl^-).
In the Periodic Table chlorine has the atomic No. 17. This means it has 17 protons, ( 17 pluses 17+) . When it gains one electron there are now 18 electrons remaining ( 18 minuses 18-).
Hence doin a little sum
17+ & 18 - = 1- Hence the reason why the chloride ion has the symbol (Cl^-).
What else can I help you with?
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?
Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.
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.
Will a plastic comb with extra electrons have a positive charge?
No the answer is that it has an negitive charge
What are the thee particles of the atom respective charges are?
They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.They are neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons have zero charge, protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
What charges do proton an electrons have?
Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
What electrons have a charge?
Electron's have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge.
Are electrons characterized by a positive or negative charge?
Electrons are characterized by a negative charge.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
What kind of charge positive or negative do electrons carry?
Electrons carry a negative charge.
Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?
Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.
What charge electron charge positive or negative?
Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
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.
Which particles moves when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge?
Electrons are the particles that move when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge. In the case of a positive charge, electrons are removed from the object, leaving an excess of positive charge. Conversely, in the case of a negative charge, electrons are added to the object, creating an excess of negative charge.
When a proton is positive an electron is?
Negative. Protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
Do protons have positive charge neutrons have negative charge and electrons have no charge?
No, protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge and neutrons have no charge
