The attraction between sodium ions and chlorine ions forms?
An ionic bond
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 happens then a sodium atom and a clorine atom exchange an electron?
The sodium atom gives an electron to the chlorine atom to make the sodium and chloride ions respectively. Then they form ionic bonds forming sodium chloride.
How are sodium and chlorine ions different from salt molecules?
A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
How do sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride?
When in elemental form, atoms of sodium lose electrons to atoms of chlorine, forming ions (this occurs in a 1:1 ratio). These ions are attracted by the electric difference between them and form a salt.
What change does the sodium atom have after combining with chlorine?
In presence of chlorine, sodium atoms will discharge electrons to give sodium ions to combine with chloride ions followed by forming a lattice of sodium chloride.
What is sodium chloride made up from?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
What happens to salt molecules when dissolved in water?
The salt molecules are "torn apart" by the water, and are reduced to sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) ions. It is the ions that go into solution and "float around" there. Note that elemental sodium and elemental chlorine are not what is in solution. The ions are. Salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic molecule; an ionic bond holds salt together.
The attraction between sodium ions and chlorine ions forms?
An ionic bond
Which two elements makes up most of the dissolved solids in sea water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen H20 is the element compound of water.
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 are the ions in each compound of sodium chloride?
Sodium - Na+ Chlorine - Cl-
How many ions are required to form sodium Chloride?
Your phrasing is slightly off. It does not require ions to form sodium chloride; that compound is made from atoms of sodium and chlorine (one of each). Once the compound is formed, the sodium and chlorine then become ions, Na+ and Cl-.
Is sodium chloride an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine formed by ionic bonding of sodium ions and chlorine ions.
What happens to the arrangement and movement of the ions when sodium chrolide dissolves in water?
The ions are neutralised (and therefore are no longer ions). The new particle is a stable form of both sodium and chlorine, in other words chloride and sodium. These forms have full valence shells and will not react like their former disposition.
How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
