What else can I help you with?
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
What happens when sodium ions is attracted to a chlorine ion?
forms a covalent bond APEX:They form an ionic compound.
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.
Sodium and chlorine atoms combine readily because they both tend to lose electrons true of false?
False. Sodium tends to lose an electron to form a positive ion, while chlorine tends to gain an electron to form a negative ion. This opposite transfer of electrons is what allows sodium and chlorine to readily combine and form salt (sodium chloride).
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
Does chlorine form positive or negative ions?
Chlorine forms a negative ion.
Would chlorine fom a positive or a negative ion?
Chlorine will form a negative ion with a charge of -1 because it gains one electron to complete its octet.
Which would form a negative ion lithium aluminum magnesium or chlorine?
Chlorine would form a negative ion and the other three positive ions.
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
Does a chlorine ion have a negative or positive charge?
Non it is neutral
Why is the chlorine ion attracked to the sodium ion?
When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.
Will form an ionic bond?
A positive ion and a negative ion.
Do sodium and chlorine atom form a covalent bond?
No, sodium and chlorine do not form a covalent bond. They typically form an ionic bond, where sodium loses an electron to form a positive ion and chlorine gains an electron to form a negative ion, resulting in an attraction between the two ions.
Chlorine readily gains an electron forming what kind of ion?
Chlorine readily gains an electron to form a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
What is an example of a negative ion?
A positive ion is an ion with no negative charges.
Is the symbol Cl an ionic compound a polar molecule negative ion or a positive ion?
None of them. Cl is the symbol for an atom of chlorine. If it were a compound there would be at least one other symbol, and the same applies to a polar molecule. If it were a negative ion it would be Cl- with the negative sign as a superscript. Chlorine doesn't form positive ions in normal circumstances, but it would be Cl+ , again with the charge as a superscript.
Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?
Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-
