What is the cation for NaCl2?

NaCl2 does not exist. Perhaps you are referring to NaCl, in which case the cation is Na^+.


Why nacl2 is not possible?

The cation sodium. Na + The anion chlorine. Cl - NaCl ----------------sodium chloride Sodium only has the one valance electron to donate to an ionic bond and chlorine can accept only one electron into it's valance shell. Then their octets are complete. So, NaCl2 is not possible as chlorine could not accept an electron not being donated in this invalid compound.


How many atoms does NaCl2 share?

NaCl2 does not exist since the chemical formula for sodium chloride (table salt) is NaCl. NaCl means there is one atom of sodium (Na) for every one atom of chlorine (Cl) that are chemically bonded together.
