Unlike sodium and chlorine some atoms become more stable by sharing electrons forming what?
Unlike the sodium and chlorine, some atoms become more stable by sharing electrons and therefore form the ionic compounds.
Unlike sodium and chlorine some atoms become more stable by sharing?
they blow upinto 1 billion peices and kill everyone
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
when sodium valence electron is transferred to chlorine , both atoms become ions . the sodium atom becomes a positive ion . the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion .
What is a word equation for sodium and chlorine?
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct

Unlike sodium and chloride some atoms the ions become stable by sharing what?
valence electrons

How are elements sodium and chlorine like the table salt they make?
Sodium and chlorine are both completely unlike table salt. Sodium is a soft, highly reactive metal that explodes on contact with water. Chlorine is a greenish, highly toxic gas.
If sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond does it become sodium chloride?
Yes
What charge does sodium and chlorine become after reacting together?
Sodium chloride has no charge.
If chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become a?
positively
Why do atoms loan electrons to other atoms?
To become stable. Without the sharing or "loaning" of electrons atoms would become very reactive. Pure sodium put into water would explode, but when sodium is combined with Chlorine, it produces Sodium Chloride (NaCl) otherwise known as common table salt.

What combined elements make up salt?
Sodium and Chlorine (Will become sodium chloride)
The bonds in NaCl form because?
Because sodium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity; sodium become a cation and chlorine an anion.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
