A "cation" carries positive (+) charge.
An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge.
The charge carried in may be single or multiple.
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.
When chlorine gains one electron, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge.
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 as an ion.
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
The ion formed by chlorine is the "chloride" ion
The Chlorine Ion has charge of -1.
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
-1
A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.
It is one negative (-)
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
The name given to the electrical charge on an ion is a oxidation number. The charge of the ion typically formed by strontium is 2 plus.
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.
