When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond what is the bond called?

The bond formed between sodium and chloride, where the electron is transferred from sodium to chloride, is called an ionic bond. This bond is formed between a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (chloride) through the transfer of electrons.


What is formed when elements join together?

When elements join together, they form compounds. Compounds are made up of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together. This bonding can be either covalent (sharing electrons) or ionic (transferring electrons).


How do elements join to from compounds?

YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).


If a table salt Na Cl is formed when elements sodium Na and chlorine is Cl join list some properties of the compound Na Cl and the elements Na and Cl?

Salt (NaCl) is white, solid, salty, soluble in water, usually found in small granules, etc. Sodium (Na) is a silver/white, highly reactive alkali metal. Chlorine (Cl) is a greenish gas, and a halogen.


Are molecules always compounds?

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together. And a compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. So all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

What is formed when two or more elements join together chemically?

Atoms cannot be combined chemically. If an atom is combined with another it is fusion. It forms a heavier atom, unique from the original atoms.

What do elements join together to make?

Elements join together to form compounds such as sodium and chlorine making sodium chloride or salt


Can an element convert to a compound?

Not by itself. Another element has to be around to chemically join with it to turn it into a compound. An atom of an element can join with another atom like itself to form a diatomic molecule, and a number of elements do this. Oxygen is called O2 because an oxygen atom always travels around with a buddy. When we form the "simplest" compounds, it takes an atom of one thing and an atom of another thing. Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), and it's a compound with an atom of sodium and an atom of chlorine bonded together.


What compound is formed when magnesium and chlorine join up?

Magnesium Chloride


Explain how a crystal of sodium chloride is formed?

A crystal of sodium chloride is formed when individual sodium and chloride ions come together in a repeating pattern to create a three-dimensional structure. This process is driven by electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged sodium ions and the negatively charged chloride ions. As more ions join the crystal lattice, a solid structure is formed with a regular geometric shape.


When two or more atoms from different elements join they form?

When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.


Atoms of two elements ca join to form a?

a compound


When two or more atoms form different elements join they form?

When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.


When two elements join chemically to form a compound the overall charge on the compound will be plus 1?

Not necessarily. The overall charge on a compound formed by the joining of two elements depends on the specific elements and their oxidation states. It could be positive, negative, neutral, or even fractional, depending on the elements involved in the chemical reaction.


What is it called when atoms of different elements join to form a substance?
