When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
The chlorine atom becomes an ion with a larger radius when it forms an ionic bond with sodium. This is because it gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, causing the electron cloud to expand.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium the atom of chlorine does what?
accepts an electron to become the chloride anion, Cl-
What is the name of a chlorine atom gains one electron?
When a chlorine atom gains one electron, it forms a chloride ion with a single negative charge.
What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
A chloride ion is larger than a chlorine atom because it has gained an electron, leading to increased electron-electron repulsion and a larger ionic radius compared to the atomic radius of a chlorine atom.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
The chlorine atom becomes an ion with a larger radius when it forms an ionic bond with sodium. This is because it gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, causing the electron cloud to expand.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
Why is the chloride ion larger than the chloride atom?
The chloride ion is larger than the chloride atom because when an atom gains an electron to become an ion, it experiences an increase in electron-electron repulsion which causes the electron cloud to expand. This expansion leads to the ion being larger in size compared to the neutral atom.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
What is a negatively charged atom of chlorine called?
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
Which atom in sodium chloride is reduced?
The chlorine atom.
Why is chloride ion bigger than chlorine atom?
A thorough explanation requires quantum calculations, but as an approximation: A chloride ion is bigger than a chlorine atom because the ion contains an additional electron, but the positive charge of the nucleus is not changed from that of the atom. As a result, the average electrostatic force between the nucleus and each electron is slighter weaker in the ion, so that its electrons equilibrate with a larger average distance from the nucleus than in the atom. (The external dimension of either an atom or an ion is determined by the size of its electron cloud since the nucleus is too far inside the electron cloud to affect external dimension.)
Is a chlorine atom larger than a bromine atom?
No. It is difficult to get an accurate measure of the size of a single atom. One estimate based on the molecular Cl2 and Br2 bond lengths has the relative sizes as Cl 100 pm; Br 115 pm. Another way is to calculate the radius theoretically one source estimates Cl, 79pm and Br 94pm.
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of a chloride atom?
In the question, it should be either "chlorine atom" or "chloride ion". Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. Chloride ion has 8 valence electrons.
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
