What is the difference between the chlorine ion and the chlorate ion?

An atom is a neutral particle with the same number of protons as electrons. Ions are particles that have either more or less electrons. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged. Ions will lose or gain electrons in order to have eight outer shell electrons.
A chlorine atom has 17 electrons and 7 valence electrons (outer shell). It "wants" to have eight valence electrons, so it will gain one. Therefore, the typical chlorine atom will have one electron more.

Chlorate is a polyatomic ion with the formula ClO3-
Chlorates and chlorites have somewhat different properties including that the chlorate ion is a stronger oxidizer than chlorite.

What is the difference between chlorine ion and atom?
A chlorine ion has one less electron, giving it a +1 charge.
The formula for the compound formed between potassium and the chlorate ion is?
kclo3
Formula for the compound formed between potassium and chlorate ion?
KClO3
What is the oxidation state of chlorine in the chlorate ion ClO3?
Oxygen in compounds is almost always in the -2 formal charge, and the charges of all atoms must add to the overall charge. 3 x -2 + (Cl) = -1, thus (Cl) = +5.
How do you get sodium chlorate from formula NaClO3?
It contains the sodium ion Na+ and the chlorate ion ClO3- Since sodium is the positive ion (cation) you name it first, then you name the chlorate ion second because it is the anion (negative ion). so the name of the compound is sodium chlorate.
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.
What is chemical formula for the chlorite ion?
The chemical formula for chlorite ion is ClO2- and the other oxy-anions of chlorine are (IUPAC names in parentheses); ClO- : Hypochlorite ion [ Chlorate(I) ion ] ClO3- : Chlorate ion [ Chlorate(V) ion ] ClO4- : Perchlorate ion [ Chlorate(VII) ion ]
What is the difference between chlorine ion and atom?
A chlorine ion has one less electron, giving it a +1 charge.
What are the uses of the chlorate ion?
It is generally used as an oxidizer because it contains chlorine in +5 oxidation state.
The formula for the compound formed between potassium and the chlorate ion is?
kclo3
Formula for the compound formed between potassium and chlorate ion?
KClO3
What is the oxidation state of chlorine in the chlorate ion ClO3?
Oxygen in compounds is almost always in the -2 formal charge, and the charges of all atoms must add to the overall charge. 3 x -2 + (Cl) = -1, thus (Cl) = +5.

What is the chemical formula for a chlorite ion a chloride ion and a chlorate ion?
Chloride: Cl- Chlorite: ClO2- Chlorate: ClO3-
What is the difference between Chloride and callcium?
Chloride is an ion of chlorine plus one electron. In solution, calcium is an ion missing two electrons.
What is the difference between a bohr model of a chlorine atom isotope and ion?
NOTHING...?:3 Sorry but you draw them the same
What is the charge of chlorate?
The charge on a chlorate ion is -1. This means that the oxidation state of the chlorine atom in the ion is +7. Cl + O3 = -1 (overall charge) ? + (3 x -2) = -1 Therefore ?= +7 You must remember to put in the sign, even if it is positive.-1 valency
