How do elements sodium and chlorine differ from the table salt form?
sodium is not eatible nor is chlorine. Chlorine is a chemical and when mixed with the sodium it forms a new eatible compound and this is salt or table salt.
Why does sodium make ionic bond with chlorine?
Common salt is NACl and contains both sodium and chlorine. It can therefre be used as a source of chlorine (electrolysis) and sodium compounds.
What harmless substance forms from the reaction of sodium and chlorine gas?
Sodium Chloride which is table salt
What forms of a solid piece of shiny sodium metal is exposed to chlorine gas?
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (CL) combine to form Sodium Chloride- (NaCl)- but you probably call it table salt.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
What happens to the sodium and chlorine when salt forms?
when sodium and chlorine come together to create salt they have a strong attraction between them, due to that sodium is a cation and chlorine is a anion. so they just end up sticking to each other. kind of like a magnet (+-)attract, (++)(--)repel
What kind of bonds forms between sodium and chlorine?
ionic bond
A chlorine atom will steal an electron from a sodium atom. The result is called an between the sodium and chlorine ions. this forms sodium chloride known as salt?
ionic bond
How a bond forms between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride (NaCl).?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
How many electrons are transfoed in the ionic bond between sodium and cloride?
One electron from the sodium atom is transferred to the chlorine atom, forming a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
How does sodium atom and a chloride atom combine?
A sodium atom has one electron outside a closed shell, and a chlorine atom lacks one electron to fill a shell. A sodium chloride molecule forms by ionic bonding, the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting positive and negative ions.
How does a bond forms between soduim and chlorine in soduim cloride?
it's an ionic bond. sodium donates its e- to chlorine and you have a bond.
When sodium interacts with chlorine sodium loses an electron while chlorine gains one this interactions forms?
Sodium chloride
Why sodium's electron and chlorine's electron attract each other?
The electrons do not attract each other. The single valence electron of a sodium atom is given up to a chlorine atom. This results in the sodium atom forming a positive sodium ion, and the chlorine atom forming a negative chloride ion. The oppositely charged ions form an electrostatic attraction, which forms the neutral ionic compound of sodium chloride.
What 2 forms of atoms form sodium chloride?
sodium and chlorine
How to break the ionic bond the forms between sodium and chlorine?
you can freeze them than the perticles wont move
Type of bond formed between Na and Cl?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not react with chlorine. The bond between sodium and chlorine atoms to form sodium chloride is ionic. The sodium ion loses one electron to the chlorine atom, forming a Na+ ion and a Cl- ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
