How are chloride ions made?
When chlorine gain an electron become the anion Cl-.
Chloride ion would be represented by the chemical formula?
A chloride ion would simply be represented by chlorine's chemical symbol along with a negative 1 to indicate the gain of an electron: Cl-1 or Cl1- or just Cl-.
How much grams of chloride in 58 grams of NaCl?
58 g NaCl = 58 (g) / 58.44 (g/mol NaCl) = 0.9925 (mol NaCl) = 0.9925 (mol Cl-) = 0.9925 * 35.45 (g/mol Cl-) = 35.2 g Cl-
How many electrons will chlorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Cl has a tendency to gin electrons in a reaction, this is due to the fact that it has 7 electrons already, its much easier for chlorine to gain one more electron to have a full shell than to lose 7 and have a full shell.
Na and Cl cemically combined is?
NACl
How many electron pairs are there in Nacl?
18. Cl=17 Na= 11
How could Cl change to gain stability?
gain 1 electron
What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium chloride?
In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)
Is NaCl a nonpolar molecule?
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are made up of generally two types of ions i.e. anions (or negatively charged ions) and cations (or positively charged ions). NaCl is made up of two ions i.e. Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). Na (atom) has one electron in its outermost shell. To complete its orbit (octet : by 8 electrons), it needs to lose one electron. On the other hand, Chlorine (atom) have seven electrons in its outermost shell. To complete its orbit (octet : by 8 electrons), it needs to gain one electron. Thus, Na donates one electron to Cl. As Na loses one electron, it becomes cation; while Cl gains one electron, it becomes anion. The one electron, which is lost by Na+ and gained by Cl-, results in the Polarity of NaCl. Chloride has the tendency to gain electron, therefore, it attracts the electron with high force. While Sodium don't have, thus it doesn't attracts. Thus, Chlorine becomes more electronegative despite Sodium. From the above mentioned, we can assume that NaCl is a polar compound.
Are electrons shared equally in Na-Cl?
No. This is an ionic compound and the electron of sodium is donated into the electron shell of chlorine. Na + ( the cation ) and Cl - ( the anion ) form the ionic compound NaCl, sodium chloride.
A bond formed due to the gain and loss of electrons between atoms is a?
Ionic bond because losing 1 electron makes the atom a +1 ion; gaining 1 electron makes the atom a -1 ion. A Cl atom attracts the outer shell electron of a Na atom forming a Na^+1 ion and a Cl^-1 ion. And that is NaCl , table salt!!!!
What holds the compound NaCl together?
It is held by an ionic bond between Na and Cl atoms. It is formed when sodium looses an electron and Cl gains one.
How are chloride ions made?
When chlorine gain an electron become the anion Cl-.
What is the dissocociation of NaCl to Na Cl?
NaCl---------------→Na+ + Cl-
What happens with dissociation in NaCl?
The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-
Will Li gain or lose when reacting to Cl?
Li loses one electrons. Cl gains the electron.
Why would NaCl react with water?
Sodium chloride is dissociated in water: NaCl------------Na+ + Cl-
