What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
it becomes a sodium cation
Can clorine and sodium form a compound?
sodium chloride? NaCl
What is the result of sodium atom transferring an electron to a chlorine atom and they become stable?
The result is what you use to put in the food. Table salt (or sodium chlorine). It's a very stable compound, as each of the ions have their orbitals completely filled. Recall that in their normal states, Sodium has only one valence electron, and the Clorine is missing one to have its orbitals filled.
What happens to sodiums valence electron when sodium bonds with chlorine to form table salt?
The electron is transferred to chlorine.
What happens to the size of a sodium atom when it loses an electron?
Any modification occur.
What happens when a sodium and chlorine atom exchange an electron?
They form an ionic bond
What happens when sodium atom and chlorine atom exchange an electron?
They form an ionic bond
How many atoms are in sodium and chloride?
If you mean what makes up common table salt? Then the answer would be one atom of Na or sodium and one atom of Cl or Clorine. The neat thing that makes them bond together so tightly is that Sodium has one free or 'extra' electron, and clorine has one spot open for one more electron.
Who has a higher electronagativity sodium or chlorine?
clorine clorine
What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
it becomes a sodium cation
What happens in the combination of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt?
A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
Can clorine and sodium form a compound?
sodium chloride? NaCl
Salt of chitchen with sodium and clorine?
This salt is sodium chloride, NaCl.
What happens when a sodium atom that has lost an electron come near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What happens when a sodium atom that lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What happens when a sodium loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
What happens when Na turns into an ion?
Sodium atom lose an electron.
