The chloride becomes Cl-1 .
When an ion is negative, it becomes an anion (or A Negative ION).
When an Atom Loses an electron (Negative (-) particle), it then contains One more proton than electrons and becomes a Positive (+) particle or An 'Ion' and, in this case will have a Positive Charge (+).It gets this way when it reacts with another atom like Chlorine which gains an electron to become a Negative (-) 'Ion'.Example: Sodium, Na, becomes Na(1+) Ion by losing an electron.Chlorine, Cl, becomes Cl(1-) Ion by gaining an electron.The 2 Ions will chemically combine to form a Neutral (no charge) compound of Salt, NaCl.
Hydrogen and Oxygen H20 is the element compound of water.
50 g sodium chloride (NaCl) contain 30,167 g chlorine.
Na is sodium, and Cl is chlorine. They are two elements, and when combined form Sodium Chloride, or table salt. Na is sodium, and Cl is chlorine. They are two elements, and when combined form Sodium Chloride, or table salt.
Only when they have identical electronegativities. Homogeneous metals such as iron only, all the atoms share electrons equally. When the electronegativities differ significantly in allows, the metals change their character. An example of this is steel, where soft and malleable iron becomes hard and brittle, because of the presence of other metals such as manganese.
After chlorine accepts the electron from sodium, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
they form an ionic bond (:
Actually, when sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine, the sodium atom donates one electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion. The sodium ion becomes Na+ and the chloride ion becomes Cl-.
Ionic bond. Chlorine and sodium will form an ionic bond by transferring electrons. Sodium donates an electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride.
When sodium gives its electron to chlorine, sodium becomes positively charged (Na+) and chlorine becomes negatively charged (Cl-). This forms an ionic bond between the two ions, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt.
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
when sodium valence electron is transferred to chlorine , both atoms become ions . the sodium atom becomes a positive ion . the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion .
When a valence electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These ions form an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges.
they form an ionic bond (:
First off sodium. Sodium is an alkali metal and when alkali metals react they lose an electron. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged. Chlorine is in the halogen family and when they react they gain one electron, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative charged. So, Sodium=Positive Chlorine=Negative I got this as an homework question yesterday, took like 5mins but i finally figured it out :)
The sodium atom becomes a positive ion (Na+) when it loses a valence electron, and the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion (Cl-) when it gains a valence electron. This transfer of electrons creates an ionic bond between them, forming sodium chloride (NaCl), or table salt.
