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?

The charge on a chloride ion in AlCl3 is -1. This is because aluminum typically has a +3 charge in ionic compounds, so in order for the compound to be neutral overall, each chloride ion must have a charge of -1.


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.


How many chlorine ions are required to bond with aluminum ion?

Three chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion to form the compound aluminum chloride. This is because aluminum has a 3+ charge and chlorine has a 1- charge, so the formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.


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.


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


What is the formula for silver plus 1 and chlorine?

The formula for silver plus one ion and chlorine is AgCl. Silver has a +1 charge (Ag+) and chlorine has a -1 charge (Cl-), so they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form the compound silver chloride.


What will be the charge for cl when it becomes ions?

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. So it gains an electron to get noble gas configuration. Therefor Cl makes ions with a charge of -1.


What is the valency of barium chloride ion?

The valency of a barium ion is +2. Barium chloride (BaCl2) consists of a barium ion (Ba^2+) and two chloride ions (Cl^-), which gives the overall compound a neutral 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 is the charge of SO ion?

Sulfur monoxide is a gaseous compound, NOT an ion; hence it has NO charge.


What is the iconic charge of chlorine?

I think you mean 'IONIC' ; Not 'iconic'; note the spelling. Chlorine becomes the chloride ion by gaining one electron. Its symbol is 'Cl^-' A negative ion is an 'ANION'. So it could be described as the 'Chloride anion'. NB If an ion carries a positive charge it is a 'CATION'. NNB The Chlorine atom contains #1 ; 17 protons ( 17 +). #2 ; 18(or 20) neutrons (zero charge). Depending on isotopic mass #3 ; 17 electrons ( 17 - ) When it gains an electron to become the anion then the atom is no longer an atom, but an ion, which contains #1 ; 17 protons ( 17 +). #2 ; 18(or 20) neutrons (zero charge). #3 ; 18 electrons ( 18 - ) Since we now have 17+ & 18 - the net difference is '-1' , Which is shown on the ion as 'Cl^-'. Hope that helps!!!!
