How is sodium electronic structure different to chlorine's?
Chlorine is diatomic but Sodium is not.
Is sodium monoatomic or diatomic molecule?
Sodium does not exist as molecules in the room temperature and pressure because it is a metal. Although it forms diatomic 'molecules' in gaseous phase at very high temperatures.
Is nitrogen gas monatomic or diatomic?
Nitrogen gas is diatomic.
What is the balanced equation when iodine reacts with sodium hydroxide?
6NaOH + 3I2 = 5NaI + NaIO3 + 3H2O Six moles of sodium hydroxide and three moles of diatomic iodine yield five moles of sodium iodide, one mole of sodium iodate, and three moles of water. Cheers!
Is iodine diatomic or monatomic?
diatomic
How is sodium electronic structure different to chlorine's?
Chlorine is diatomic but Sodium is not.
Do all diatomic substances have covalent bonds?
All diatomic substances have covalent bonds even diatomic metal molecules such as sodium molecules (>2000 K).
Does sodium exists as a diatomic molecule?
No, (in solid form at least) It is a metal and metals do not exist as diatomic molecules. That is what I thought, but did some searching and found an article (see below) which talked about diatomic sodium gas. Sodium is present in some light bulbs, and it would make sense that it could exist as a gas in this environment.
Is sodium monoatomic or diatomic molecule?
Sodium does not exist as molecules in the room temperature and pressure because it is a metal. Although it forms diatomic 'molecules' in gaseous phase at very high temperatures.
The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is but the bond in sodium chloride NaCl is?
pure covalent; ionic
Is sodium chloride is a diatomic?
The correct term for ionic salts (as sodium chloride) is formula unit, not molecule; sodium chloride form very large structural lattices.
What is the sodium chlorine molecule?
Sodium chloride is encountered as an ionic solid, with a giant ionic lattice structure, containing Na+ and Cl- ions. Sodium chloride in the solid state is not molecularIn sodium chloride vapour at high temperatures there are discrete NaCl diatomic molecules
Is nitrogen gas monatomic or diatomic?
Nitrogen gas is diatomic.
What is the balanced equation when iodine reacts with sodium hydroxide?
6NaOH + 3I2 = 5NaI + NaIO3 + 3H2O Six moles of sodium hydroxide and three moles of diatomic iodine yield five moles of sodium iodide, one mole of sodium iodate, and three moles of water. Cheers!
What does a sodium chloride bond look like?
In the giant ionic lattice each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions in and octahedral array. Likewise each chlorine is surrounded by 6 sodium atoms. Molecular NaCl , formed at high temperature in the gas phase is found a diatomic molecules NaCl as well as (NaCl)n . The diatomic molecule has a very high dipole moment indicating that the bonding is principally ionic.
Is iodine diatomic or monatomic?
diatomic
What do sodium and nitrogen have in common?
Not a lot! Sodium is a reactive metal, nitrogen is an unreactive diatomic gas. Sodium forms compounds where it loses an electron, to form the Na+ ion. Nitrogen forms covalent compounds such as NH3 and ionic compounds where it gains three electrons to form the N3- ion.
