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.
distilled water refers to water nearly free of ionised atoms such as Cl,Mg,and Na
The chloride becomes Cl-1 . When an ion is negative, it becomes an anion (or A Negative ION).
One molecule has two atoms (one Na and one Cl). So 3NaCl will have six atoms.
The answer is Group 17 Halogens.
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.
2: Na+, Cl-
NaCl---------------→Na+ + Cl-
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
na + cl- na - electronic configuration 2,8,1 cl - electronic configuration 2,8,7 na -e --> na + cl +e -->cl - so they formed a ironic bond between them
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
Na is sodium (11) Cl is Chlorine (17)
Ionic compounds tend to shatter when struck with a hammer. This is due to the crystal structure formed by an ionic compound, which is basically repeating units of negatively and positively charged ions in some sort of geometric arrangement. When struck, ions of similar charge and pushed next to each other. These ions repel and the whole crystal will then cleave apart along the crystal pattern. example: Left undisturbed NaCl crystal, right struck Na Cl :crys.tal breaks along crystal pattern Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Metallic bonds are better pictured as an electron sea, where all the metal atoms that are participating are freely sharing electrons amongst each other. Because of this there are no localized charges to repel each other, making metallic bonds far less susceptible to shattering.
The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
The symbol for sodium is Na. The symbol for chlorine is Cl.
Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide yield salt and water H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> Na+ + Cl- + H2OComment:In solutions you better leave unchanged ions ( Cl- and Na+) out of the balanced equation: called to be 'tribune ions' (people on the tribune don't take part in the 'match'):H+ + OH- --> H2O This looks simpler than: H+ + Cl - + Na + + OH- --> Na + + Cl - + H2O
NaCl --> Na+ + Cl- You could write water on either side I suppose, but it is negligible. I've also seen H2O written over the arrow.
