When a chlorine atom gains an electron what is it charge?
when the chlorine atom gains an electron its charge becomes -1. this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomic number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1.
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 chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
Is chlorine more electronegative than sulfur?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur because by gaining an extra electron it is able to maximize the effective nuclear charge, therefore stabilizing it and giving it a noble gas arrangement.
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorines charge after accepting the electron?
-1

How does an object get a positive charge or negative charge?
By loosing or gaining and electron.
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 charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
Is chlorine more electronegative than sulfur?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur because by gaining an extra electron it is able to maximize the effective nuclear charge, therefore stabilizing it and giving it a noble gas arrangement.
