Why does chlorine have a negative charge?
Chloride forms a negative ion because of its number of valence electrons. Chloride wants to have 8 valence electrons. It only has 7. So for Chloride to have a full electron shell it accepts an electron from other elements. Because electrons have a negative charge, the extra electron that Chloride receives gives it a negative charge.
What is the formulas for the compounds called copper1 chloride and copper 2 chloride?
Copper I Chloride is CuCl and Copper II Chloride CuCl2
Why are the particles in a sodium chloride molecule called ions rather than atoms?
They are called ions because they have an electric charge. The sodium gives up its (valence) electron so it gains a positive electrical charge. The chlorine gains this extra electron so it gains a negative electrical charge. IONS always refer to particles WITH AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE.
Name the two ions found in sodium chloride?
The two ions found in sodium chloride are sodium ion and chloride ion. Actually sodium chloride crystals are made up of these two ions which are arranged in a cubical crystal structure with each ion surrounded by 6 ions of the other type1 . The sodium ion is positively charged( called cation) and chloride ion is negatively charged( called anion) and due to electrostatic forces of attraction they are held together.[ Na+Cl- ] ---> Na++ Cl-(in solid) (in solution or fused state)In solid state ions are held together but in fused state or in aqueous solution ions get separated and become mobile. Electrolysis of such a solution can give information about composition of sodium chloride.1. The coordination number of sodium chloride is 6
If an atom losses an electron it will be positive and called a what?
It will be called as positron.
What is it called when chlorine becomes chloride?
When chlorine becomes chloride, the chlorine gains an electron to form an anion. This process is called oxidation. Oxidation always occurs with reduction (loss of an electron from another substance) in an oxidation reduction reaction.
During glycolysis NADH is formed when hydrogen atoms are transferred to an electron acceptor called?
NAD+
What does a Chloride Ion consist of?
The Chloride Ion is formed by the addition of a negatively charged electron to the element called chlorine. Chlorine is a halogen gas. Chloride Ion is used in medical treatments.
How is the bonding in calcium oxide different from the bonding in sodium chloride?
calcium is mdonating one electron to each chloride. This makes the calcium a positive charge and the chloride a negative charge. This is called ionic bonding (CaCl2)
What are the products of a non-cyclic electron flow?
In photosynthesis, the noncyclic electron flow produces enzymes called cytochrome b6f complex. Its function is to catalyze the electron transfer of plastoquinol to plastocyanin.
What is it called when sodium and chlorine are mixed together?
The compound is sodium chloride - NaCl (table salt).
What are electrovalent compounds give definition with examples?
(Chemistry) a type of chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains the electron to form a negative ion. The resulting ions are held together by electrostatic attraction Also called ionic bond.example of electrovalent compound is NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
Why are redox reaction important in some energy transfer?
Many of the energy conversions that go on in a cell involve reactions in which an electron is transferred from one substance to another. This is because the transfer of an electron also involves the transfer of the energy of that electron. Such an electron transfer is called a redox reaction. Examples are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.
Is it electron to electron forces that hold atoms together?
No - not very likely - electrons are all -ve charged. Ultimately, no-one knows what hold atoms together, although a lot is known, they just get called nuclear forces.
A chlorine atom will steal an electron from a sodium atom. The result is called an between the sodium and chlorine ions. this forms sodium chloride known as salt?
ionic bond
What holds ions and sodium chloride together?
It is the electromagnetic force as it is expressed in what is called an ionic chemical bond that holds individual molecules of table salt (NaCl) together.
