What charge is chlorine?
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
The charge on a chloride ion in AICI3 is?
Each separate chlorine ion will have a charge of 1-. This is because chlorine has 7 valence electrons, so it needs one more electron to become stable.
What is chlorine in ion form?
An anion is a negatively charged ion. Chlorine, because it wants to "steal" or "borrow" an electron to achieve that "magic" inert gas electron configuration will be a negative or anion. The chlorine ion's "extra" electron will give it an overall negative charge. The anion of chlorine is written as Cl- by those who annote it in chemistry.
What type of ion is Chlorine most likely to form?
Since chlorine is one of the 7 diatomics, it is Cl₂. Seven Diatomics: H₂, I₂, Br₂, Cl₂, O₂, F₂, N₂ Chloride ion = neg. 1 Chlorine= Cl2 = neutral
Why does chlorine form a -1 ion?
It gains an electron in its 3p orbital, giving an unbalanced negative charge. its atomic number is 17 (2,8,7) in the least shell need 1 electron , so it gains negative charge

What is the valency of barium chloride ion?
Barium's charge is 2+ and Chlorine's charge is 1- so the formula would be BaCl2

How many hydrogen ions combine with chlorine ion?
One. A hydrogen ion (H+) has a +1 charge, and a chloride ion has a -1 charge, Cl-, so they combine in a 1-to-1 ratio to form a neutral compound, HCl or hydrochloric acid.
Is an oxidation number the same as the type of ion formed?
The overall oxidation number of an ion is indeed the charge. Na+, sodium is +1 ON, Cl-, chlorine is -1 ON. For a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of the consituent atoms. For example NH4+ ; N is -3, H is +1 so overall ON is +1 same as the charge.
Why you can say that the chlorine atom is negative?
Chlorine has a tendency to acquire an additional electron in order to complete its outer electron shell, so in an ionic compound it will form an ion with a charge of minus one. However, the chlorine atom is not negative, it is neutral, like all atoms. It only becomes negative when it becomes an ion.
What ion charge does xenon have?
the Xenon itself is an electron, so it doesn't have an ion charge
What is the charge of SO ion?
Sulfur monoxide is a gaseous compound, NOT an ion; hence it has NO charge.
What does the term polarising power of a cation mean?
Polarizing power: Polarising power is the ability of an atom or group of atoms to attract the shared pair of electrons toward itself. For example: If you have aluminium chloride.... the aluminium ion has a 3+ charge and is relatively small. The chlorine ion has a 1- charge and is larger than the aluminium ion. As a result...the aluminium ion has a higher charge density (i.e. a stronger attraction) and so attracts the shared pair of electrons (between the chlorine and aluminium) towards itself. we say aluminium has high polarising power because of its ability to do this. And the chlorine is easily polarised because the electrons get taken away from it.
What is the ion that is SO 4 with a -2 charge?
The Sulphate ion
