If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?

an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).


When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?

When a sodium atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na+). When a sodium atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na-).


What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?

When a valence electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These ions form an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges.


Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?

Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+


What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?

sodium becomes positive ( as it loses a negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single + charge. chlorine becomes negative ( as it gains an extra negative electron but still hs the same number of + protons) with a single - charge. NaCl -------> Na+ Cl-

What is meant by the term ion when a sodium changes from an atom to an ion?

An ion is a charged particle. A sodium atom is neutral and has one electron in the valence shell. When it loses its valence elctron, it is no longer neutral and becomes Na+ , i.e a charged particle, hence it is an ion.

If a chlorine atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called aan?

If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity. Thus, the most common ion formed by chlorine is Cl⁻ when it gains an electron.
