What the net electrical charge on the compound sodium chloride (NaCl)?
The compound is neutral.
What is the charge of Na in NaCl?
Sodium chloride is a lattice.Sodium ion is the positive ion.
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.
What net charge does a sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
How do a sodium atom and a sodium ion differ?
A sodium atom contains eleven electrons and has a net neutral electrical charge, because the atom also contains eleven protons. A sodium ion contains only ten electrons and has an electrical charge of +1, because it also contains 11 protons.
What is the net charge of the ionic compound sodium sulfide?
Sodium chloride is neutral.
What is the overall charge on sodium chloride?
Sdoium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
The electrical charge of a sodium atom that loses an electron would be +1. This is because sodium has 11 protons and normally 11 electrons, but losing one electron would result in 10 electrons, giving it a net positive charge of +1.
What is the net charge ions in Sodium?
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What is the net ionic equation of potassium chloride and sodium nitrate?
The net ionic equation for potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is: K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) -> KNO3(aq)
What is the net ionic equation of silver nitrate and sodium chloride?
The net ionic equation for silver nitrate and sodium chloride is Ag+ + Cl- -> AgCl(s). In this reaction, silver ions from silver nitrate combine with chloride ions from sodium chloride to form solid silver chloride precipitate. Sodium ions and nitrate ions are spectators and do not participate in the reaction.
