Two chlorine ions are negatively charged will they combine to make a molecule?

No, atoms of like charge do not combine to form molecules. Stable molecules are formed when oppositely charged atoms combine. For example, a chloride ion might combine with a positive ion such as sodium to form a compound, but never another chloride ion (because like charges repel).

What atoms combine and the type of bonding for sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionically bonded compound formed by the reaction of sodium and chlorine atoms. In the compound, each sodium atom that reacted becomes a positively charged sodium cation and each chlorine atoms that reacted becomes a negatively charged chloride anion.

Table salt is formed when the of sodium and chlorine combine?
when the (molecules) of ... When the atoms of sodium and chlorine combine to form NaCl or the salt molecule,it forms a harmless chemical reaction. we are doing it in my science class..... im confused to.
Why is sodium chloride electrically neutral?
A sodium atom has 11 protons and electrons and a chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons. When they combine, sodium loses an electron, and chlorine gains the electron sodium lost. Now, sodium has 10 electrons and 11 protons, making it positively charged. Chlorine on the other hand, now has 18 electrons and 17 protons, making it negatively charged. Sodium has a +1 charge, and chlorine has a -1 charge. Both charges cancel out, making it have no charge.
How chlorine forms anions?
yes, chlorine is a diatomic molecule, meaning two chlorine atoms can combine together to form a molecule.
When salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt become neg?
false
Atoms that combine if they become positively or negatively charged have what bonds?
Ionic bonds.

What might happen if a negatively charged ion comes into contact with a positively charged ion?
They combine to form ionic bond.These bonds are strong.
What bond is formed when a chlorine atom comes in contact with another chlorine atom?
A nonpolar covalent bond forms when two chlorine atoms combine to form a chlorine (Cl2) molecule.
Why is Magnesium Chloride MgCl2?
In MgCl2 magnesium has +2 valence and chlorine has -1 valence. Since the molecule' tends to be neutral two (-1) charged Cl-ions combine with one (+2) Mg2+ion.
As two chlorine atoms combine to form a molecule energy is released absorbed created or destroyed?
absorbed

When sodium and chlorine combine under normal conditions to form sodium chloride what are the possible combinations that form the molecule?
Only the molecule NaCl is possible.
Why is sodium chloride electrically neutral?

What is Cl2 in the periodic table?
Cl2 does not appear in the periodic table because it is not an element. Cl2 (chlorine gas) is a molecule formed when two atoms of Cl (elemental chlorine) combine.
