Does sodium chloride contain molecules?
Sodium Chloride is a molecule. A molecule contains 2 or more atoms. Each molecule of Sodium Chloride contains 1 sodium atom and 1 chloride atom.
How many chloride atom surround a sodium atom?
In a sodium chloride crystal, each sodium atom is surrounded by 6 chloride atoms in a regular octahedral arrangement due to the ionic bonding between the sodium cation and chloride anion.
Is sodium atom or chloride ion negatively charged?
Sodium Atom
What kind of bond occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chloride to form sodium chloride?
Ionic bond
In the the mixture sodium chloride is sodium the smaller atom?
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound, not a mixture.
How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
When a sodium atom and a chlorine atom come into contact, the sodium atom will donate one electron to the chlorine atom, forming a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. These ions are then attracted to each other through electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond and creating a molecule of sodium chloride.
What is the type of bonding in the compound sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has ionic bonding, which is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (sodium cation and chloride anion). This type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Which atom in sodium chloride is reduced?
The chlorine atom.
What is the formula for sodium chloride?
The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which indicates that it is made up of one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. Sodium chloride is commonly known as table salt.
What is in a NaCl atom?
A NaCl (sodium chloride) atom contains one sodium (Na) atom and one chlorine (Cl) atom. Sodium has 11 protons and chlorine has 17 protons. They bond together through an ionic bond to form the compound sodium chloride.
What does one sodium atom plus one chloride atom makes up?
One formula mass of the salt sodium chloride.
What contains one sodium and one chloride atom?
A "molecule" of sodium chloride, common salt. (Because this is an ionically bonded compound, its molecule is a formal concept only, rather than a unit that can be isolated.).
