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.
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
Chlorine's charge after accepting an electron is -1, as it gains one negative charge when it accepts an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
A "cation" carries positive (+) charge. An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge. The charge carried in may be single or multiple.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
Chlorine's charge would be negative because it gained an electron, which results in it having an extra negative charge.
The chlorine atom in a carbon-chlorine bond is typically assigned the delta negative charge. This is because chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, leading to an uneven sharing of electrons in the bond, with the chlorine atom attracting electron density towards itself and developing a partial negative charge.
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
It is one negative (-)
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.
The negative sign implies that chlorine has gained an electron, which chlorine will easily do in a chemical reaction. The negative charge means the electrons now outnumber the protons 18-17, hence the negative 1 charge. (remember, electrons are negative.)
The chloride ion has a negative charge of -1.
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
After chlorine accepts the electron from sodium, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
There are seven.
Non it is neutral
