The electrons do not attract each other. The single valence electron of a sodium atom is given up to a chlorine atom. This results in the sodium atom forming a positive sodium ion, and the chlorine atom forming a negative chloride ion. The oppositely charged ions form an electrostatic attraction, which forms the neutral ionic compound of sodium chloride.
What else can I help you with?
Why are electron and protons attracted to each other?
like forces repel, unlike forces attract(:
Why do the noble gases have a lower boiling point?
Due to their electron configuration, the atoms in a noble gas hardly attract each other.
What is the basic difference between electron affinity and electro negativity?
ok, so electron affinity is the amount of energy given off when a particular atom excepts electrons. Essentially, it is the likelihood that an atom will accept an electron, while ionization energy is how much energy is needed to take an electron off of a particular atom
What sides of the magnets attract each other?
Unlike poles attract each other
Do electrons and protons repel?
ELECTRONS AND PROTONS ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE OPPOSITE CHARGES. OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT. IT IS LIKE FORCES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT EACH OTHER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE NUCLEUS THAT THEY ATTRACT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ELECTRONS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NUCLEUS. PROTONS ARE ON THE INSIDE. I REALLY HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION:)
Does an electron attract another electron?
No, they repel each other.
Why are electron and protons attracted to each other?
like forces repel, unlike forces attract(:
What property allows certain metals to attract to each other?
The property that metals use to attract is known as Electron which is inside the metal. Hope that helped
Is chlorines outer shell stable?
No, chlorine's outer shell is not stable because it is missing one electron to complete its octet. This makes chlorine highly reactive and likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms to gain stability.
What is formed when positive and negative ions attract each other?
When positive and negative ions attract each other, an ionic bond is formed. Ionic bonding refers to the complete transfer of valence electron between atoms.
Do two electrons following parallel tracks attract each other?
Each electron has a single negative charge. Objects with like charges repel each other. Therefore two electrons following parallel tracks will repel, not attract, each other.
Why do electron and proton doesnt suck to each other?
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
Why do the noble gases have a lower boiling point?
Due to their electron configuration, the atoms in a noble gas hardly attract each other.
Which two subatomic particles have charges that attract to each other?
Proton (+) and Electron (-). Proton carries the positive charge particle of the atomic nucleus while the electron is negatively charged particle that occupy the space around an atomic nucleus.
Would a neutron and electron attract or repel?
A neutron and an electron would attract each other due to their opposite electric charges. Neutrons have no electric charge, while electrons have a negative charge, creating an attractive force between them.
What is the basic difference between electron affinity and electro negativity?
ok, so electron affinity is the amount of energy given off when a particular atom excepts electrons. Essentially, it is the likelihood that an atom will accept an electron, while ionization energy is how much energy is needed to take an electron off of a particular atom
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
