A chlorine atom has 17 electrons (7 in the outer shell) and has no electrical charge and will easily gain an electron to form a chloride ion.
A chloride ion has 18 electrons (8 in the outer shell) and has a charge of -1.
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of the element argon (Ar).
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of chlorine (Cl). The neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, and when it gains one electron to form the chloride ion, it also has 17 electrons but with a 1- charge.
The chloride ion (Cl-) has the same electron configuration as argon (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6) because it has gained an electron compared to a neutral chlorine atom. The chlorine atom has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5.
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
A chloride ion is simply a chlorine atom with an extra electron, giving it a charge of -1. A chlorate ion, which has the same charge, consists of a chlorine atom bonded to three oxygen atoms.
Both a chloride ion and a chloride atom contain a negative charge due to having gained one electron. Additionally, both forms of chlorine have a total of 17 protons in their nucleus.
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
The chloride ion is larger than the chloride atom because when an atom gains an electron to become an ion, it experiences an increase in electron-electron repulsion which causes the electron cloud to expand. This expansion leads to the ion being larger in size compared to the neutral atom.
Chloride is an ion of chlorine plus one electron. In solution, calcium is an ion missing two electrons.
In the question, it should be either "chlorine atom" or "chloride ion". Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. Chloride ion has 8 valence electrons.
Sodium Atom
chlorine atom will first convert to the gaseous chlorine atom which will then add one electron to form chloride ion.
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
No, a chlorine atom has one more electron than a chloride ion. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, whereas a chloride ion has gained an extra electron, giving it a total of 18 electrons and a -1 charge.
No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.
A chloride ion has gained one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, giving it a negative charge. A chlorine atom is neutral and has one electron in its outer shell.
