What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
What symbol represents a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
Cl - This means that Chlorine has an extra electron, so it's negative. Chlorine already has 7 electrons and in order to be stable, it only needs one more electron.
How many total electrons are present when Chlorine is in its ionized state?
When Chlorine is in its ionized state, it gains one electron to become a chloride ion (Cl-). Therefore, in its ionized state, Chlorine has 18 electrons in total.
When sodium and chlorine atoms combine what happens to the electrons?
The sodium atom, Na, is ionized, giving it's electron to the chlorine, Cl. Therefore, one electron is transferred from the sodium to the chlorine, forming Na+ and Cl- ions and an ionic bond.
Why is the ion charge of iodine -1?
Iodine is a halogen (group 7 of the periodic table), and halogens are supposed to have seven valenced electrons to match the amount of protons in their nucleus. However, in order to form a full octet of valence electrons, iodine atoms are willing to accept one more electron. This electron brings iodine's charge down to -1. And unlike other halogens that are smaller than iodine (fluorine, chlorine, and bromine), iodine is large enough so that its negative charge can be distributed more evenly. This makes iodine stable with a negative charge, and a good leaving group in chemical reactions (something you will probably learn later on in organic chemistry).
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Which symbol represents a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
Cl-1.

A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
If a sodium atom loses an electron to become a Na+ ion, its electron configuration will be the same as neon (1s22s22p6). Both sodium and neon have stable electron configurations.
How many covalent bonds can chloride make?
The most common number is one, chlorine achieves the octet, as in the HCl molecule. However there are chlorine oxides and chlorine fluoride compounds where more than one covalent bond id formed. One example is chlorine trioxide with 6, another is chorine pentafluoride with 5.
What element is chloride?
Chloride is the ionized form of chlorine.
Can atoms be ionized by changing the number of positive charges?
Ionizing is when you rip an electron away. so by taking an electron away, the atom is ionized
What periodic group of elements does not ionize?
The Noble Gases (Group VIIIA or Group 8A) do not exchange electrons or become ionized into ions since they already have a full electron configuration.
What is the condensed electron configuration for Te?
Commonly, the electron configuration is used to describe the orbitals of an atom in its ground state, but it can also be used to represent an atom that has ionized into a cation or anion by compensating with the loss of or gain of electrons in their subsequent orbitals.
When sodium and chlorine atoms combine what happens to the electrons?
The sodium atom, Na, is ionized, giving it's electron to the chlorine, Cl. Therefore, one electron is transferred from the sodium to the chlorine, forming Na+ and Cl- ions and an ionic bond.
