calcium becomes the main ion and chloride the secondary ion
Calcium chloride is a salt; calcium is the cation and chloride the anion.
CaCl2, or calcium chloride, is a salt composed of a metal cation (calcium) and a non-metal anion (chloride). It is not an acid, base, or oxide.
Calcium and Oxygen are the atoms in Calcium Oxide.
As Chlorine it is an ATOM. However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
Calcium chloride is a salt; calcium is the cation and chloride the anion.
In CaCl2, Cl- is the anion while Ca2+ is the cation.
Chloride is an anion. It carries a negative charge due to the gain of an electron.
The anion of barium chloride is chloride (Cl-). Barium chloride is an ionic compound composed of the cation barium (Ba2+) and the anion chloride.
CaCl2, or calcium chloride, is a salt composed of a metal cation (calcium) and a non-metal anion (chloride). It is not an acid, base, or oxide.
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
A chloride contain the chloride anion (Cl-) and a cation.
No, gaining two electrons would give calcium a full outer shell and make it a stable anion, not a cation. Calcium typically loses two electrons to become a monatomic cation with a 2+ charge.
The compound containing calcium and chlorine is called calcium chloride. When naming it, the suffix of the anion's name “chlorine” is changed to “-ide” to become chloride.
Calcium and Oxygen are the atoms in Calcium Oxide.
The cation in magnesium chloride is Mg2+ and the anion is Cl-.
Sodium from the cation sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) from the anion.
