When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
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.
What is the chloride ion and chlorine atom electron configuration?
Cl- Chloride ion 1s22s22p63s23p6 Cl Chlorine atom 1s22s22p63s23p5
The difference between a chloride ion and a chloride atom?
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.
Why sodium ion diffuse slowly than a chlorine ion?
I actually don't think it does. Diffusion is normally controlled by mass, and sodium atoms being less massive than chlorine atoms should diffuse more rapidly (the difference in mass between the neutral atom and the ion isn't enough to matter).
What is the difference between a bohr model of a chlorine atom isotope and ion?
NOTHING...?:3 Sorry but you draw them the same
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
What is difference between chloride ion and the chlorate 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.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
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.
Which process change a chlorine atom into a chloride ion?
chlorine atom will first convert to the gaseous chlorine atom which will then add one electron to form chloride ion.
What is the chloride ion and chlorine atom electron configuration?
Cl- Chloride ion 1s22s22p63s23p6 Cl Chlorine atom 1s22s22p63s23p5
What is the difference between chlorine radical and chlorine molecule?
A chlorine radical is simply Cl. with no charge but free electrons wanting to bond. A Cl atom basically. A chlorine molecule is Cl2 (two atoms bonded covalently). A chloride ion is Cl-. Many people confuse an ion with a radical. They are not the same.
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
Is chlorine a atom or ion and how do you know?
Chlorine is an atom with a neutral charge, 0. Chloride is the chlorine ion with a charge of -1. You can tell the two apart because the chlorine atom is simply "Cl" whereas the chloride ion is denoted "Cl" with a superscript minus sign.
What does a chloride ion have that a chlorine atom does not?
The chloride ion has an electron in plus.
How many valence electrons are in a chlorine atom and a chloride ion?
There are 7 valence electrons in chlorine atom and 8 valence electrons in chloride ion.
