A chlorine atom can easily form an ion by gaining 1 electron. In this scenario, it will become an anion, which simply means an ion with a negative charge. It only gains 1 because this is all it needs to achieve a full octet. This is generally what happens when chlorine bonds with a metal in an ionic bond (the metal forms the positive ion which it is attracted to.) However, in a covalent bonding scenario, chlorine will not form an ion; rather, it will share an electron with another non-metal forming a single covalent bond.

What element is a nonmetal and a green gas?
Examples of non-metal elements that are gases include hydrogen, oxygen, and many others, while bromine is the only liquid non-metal element.
What is bigger cl or ml?
cl is centi litres, just like cm (centimetres) ml is milli litres. 1 cl = 10 ml hence cl is bigger.
How does coin react with acid?
Visually you would see an effervescence in the acid where a gas appears to be being released from the metal coin. This is actually Hydrogen gas being released as part of the chemical reaction for example Iron (FE) mixed with dilute Hydrocloric acid (H2O & H-CL) would produce FE-CL and H2 and H2O
Is 38 ml more than 7 cl?
No, 38 ml. is 3.8 cl.
What is 300ml as CL?
300mL is 30cL* There are 10mL per cL and 0.1cL per mL
Why Nacl is ionic compound while chlorine gas is covalent compound?
Ionic bonds are between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between a non-metal and a non-metal. Na (metal) + Cl (non-metal) = ionic Cl (non-metal) + Cl (nonmetal) = covalent
What are the example of single bonds?
F-F Cl-Cl or any other halogen-halogen ;halogen- alkaline metal Na-Cl
If magnesum metal came in contact with hydrochlorics acid what would happen?
Mg (metal) + 2 H+ [+ 2 Cl-] --> H2 (gas) + Mg2+ [+ 2 Cl-]
Is Cl a covalent bond?
It's Ionic. Zinc = Metal Chlorine = Non-Metal Metal + Non-Metal = Ionic Bond
What type of bond is Ag Cl?
Ionic bond since you are bonding a non-metal with a metal.
Is SrCL2 a metal or non-metal elements?
SrCl2 is a compound and not a metal or non-metal. SrCl2 is made from a metal, strontium, Sr, and a non-metal, chlorine, Cl.
What is the affects of salt on metal?
The ion chloride (Cl-) is corrosive.
The non metal element in table salt?
This is chlorine (Cl).
What do all ionic compounds contain?
a metal and a nonmetal. For example, NaCl. Na is the metal, and Cl is the nonmetal.
Table salt is made with what non metal?
This element is chlorine (Cl).
How many electrons does cl have?
Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons in its shells.
Is salt a non metal mineral?
salt is an ionic compound of the metal sodium (Na) and the nonmetal clorine (Cl)
