How many chlorine atoms would be in compound with tetrachloride?

Tetra stands for four. So there are four chlorine atoms in a tetrachloride.


How many chlorine atoms would be in compound with decachloride?

Deca stands for 10. So there are ten chlorine atoms is decachloride.


Why do atoms loan electrons to other atoms?

To become stable. Without the sharing or "loaning" of electrons atoms would become very reactive. Pure sodium put into water would explode, but when sodium is combined with Chlorine, it produces Sodium Chloride (NaCl) otherwise known as common table salt.


How many chlorine atoms would be in a compound with the name tetrachloride?

In the compound dichloride there would be two chlorine atoms. This is because the compound dichloride is a binary covalent compound and these compound always follow the prefixs such as di, tri, mono, etc.


Why does chlorine want to gain 1 electron?

Generally, atoms would want to fulfill the octet rule: 8 electrons in the valence shell. This gives the atom a noble gas configuration and is seen as stable. Since the Chlorine atom is in group 7 of the periodic table, it "prefers" to gain one electron instead of losing 7 to attain the stable octet configuration.


Why do atoms take part in bond formation?

Without atoms "bonding" together, there would be no universe. With no universe there would be no Earth. No Earth = No You, and therefore No You = No Question. Atoms bond together to form matter. Without this bond, we simply would not exist.


Why do compounds like Mn Cl and Ca Cl do not exist?

Because both Mn and Ca bond to two Chlorine atoms, not one. If there was only one the result would be a reactive ion not a stable compound.


Do stable atoms release nuclear particles?

No. If they did, they would be radioactive and unstable.


How many electrone would a chlorine atom have to lose in order to have a stable electrone arrangement like neon?

A chlorine atom wouldn't need to lose anything, but a chlorine ion would need to lose 1
