Why are there more chloride ions in the zinc compound than in sodium compound?

Zinc has a valence of 2, so it combines with two chloride ions. Sodium has a valence of only one, so it combines with only one chloride ion.

Is salt an ionic compound?
no becuz NaCl has a metal in it which is sodium and molecular compounds involve non metals e.g. hydrogen peroxide is a molecular compound
Why NaCl is more ionic than CuCl2?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. In aqueous sodium chloride (a solution of table salt) the Na+ and Cl- ions are mobile and can move throughout the solution to carry charges. Molten sodium chloride can also conduct electricity because of the mobile cations and anions.
What removes salt in body?
One ; do not ingest any more salt ( Sodium chloride (NaCl) , table salt). Two ; your kidneys are your natural filters. They will remove most unwanted chemicals. However, The human organism does require, both chloride ions and sodium ions to function. So the kidneys will only remove the excess leaving the sodium ions and chloride ions in balance /equilibrium with the other body functions.
Does chlorine and sodium make a compound?
Yes. One Sodium atom and one Chlorine atom make a compound called Sodium Chloride, more commonly known as salt.
What is formed when sodium chloride reacts with copper sulphate?
I'm not sure, but I think it wont react because sodium chloride is more stable than any compound may be formed such as sodium sulphate or copper chloride
What is example of an ionic compound?
Table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCL) is an ionic compound. NaCl, sodium chloride; An ionic compound made up of one or more positive ions (cations) and one or more negative ions (anions).
Why is salt water considered a mixture?
There is more than one element/compound. If we were to have a solution of Sodium Chloride (salt) and H2O (water), there are two different compounds in that one solution. The Sodium Chloride is split into chloride ions and sodium ions and water molecules surround them in the solution.
What is negative and positive in NaCl?
No. It is a compound consisting of sodium ions and chloride ions.
What is the name for the ionic compound NaCl?
The name of the ionic compound NaCl is Sodium Chloride. =)
Sodium chloride is a compound explain?
A compound is formed from 2 or more chemical elements linked by chemical bonds; and sodium chloride has sodium and chlorine linked by an ionic bond. And sodium chloride (NaCl) is a chemical compound.
Is salt an ionic compound?
no becuz NaCl has a metal in it which is sodium and molecular compounds involve non metals e.g. hydrogen peroxide is a molecular compound
What compound is formed from sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride?
When calcium chloride dissolves, it is rather exothermic (which makes it a good deicer for sidewalks). After mixing: the sodium and chloride ions will remain in solution and do nothing. The bicarbonate and calcium will react in a strange way. Ca2+ + 2 HCO3- → CaCO3 + H2CO3 As the calcium carbonate drops out of solution, the equilibrium of this reaction is further driven off to the right thus creating more carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily decomposed to form water and carbon dioxide. H2CO3 → H20 + CO2 So, when you mix calcium carbonate and sodium bicarb, you get: Carbon dioxide gas, calcium carbonate solid, water and sodium and chloride ions.
What kind of compound is sodium chloride?
Metal (More specifically Ionic compound)
Why do the properties of sodium chloride differ from the properties of sodium metal and chlorine gas?
Because the ions of the sodium chloride compound have a different valence band electron structure (more like the noble gases and thus less reactive) than the elements sodium and chlorine. However being electrically charged these ions also acquire ability to interact that the original uncharged elements do not have.
Is sodium chloride an ionic compound or binary ionic compound?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound ( a compound between a metal and a non-metal) It is also a binary compound as it contains two elements. So it can be described as an ionic compound or more precisely as a binary ionic compound. A binary compound is one that contains exactly two elements. Binary compounds may be ionic or covalent.
What is a sodium chloride molecule?
The term molecule is not adequate for sodium chloride because NaCl form large lattices. More exact is formula unit - NaCl.
Why NaCl is more ionic than CuCl2?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. In aqueous sodium chloride (a solution of table salt) the Na+ and Cl- ions are mobile and can move throughout the solution to carry charges. Molten sodium chloride can also conduct electricity because of the mobile cations and anions.
