Does chlorine become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

Chlorine becomes a negative ion in the process of bonding; ionization and bonding are simultaneous, so no, it does not happen before bonding.


What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?

It becomes a negative ion.


When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?

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.


If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?

an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).


If Chlorine receives an electron from Sodium then Chlorine becomes a(n)?

The chloride becomes Cl-1 . When an ion is negative, it becomes an anion (or A Negative ION).


When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?

The chlorine atom becomes an ion with a larger radius when it forms an ionic bond with sodium. This is because it gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, causing the electron cloud to expand.


A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?

When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.


When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?

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-.


What will be the charge for chlorine when it becomes ions?

A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.


If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
