When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
What is the central atom in the chlorite anion surrounded by?
The central atom in the chlorite anion is chlorine (Cl), which is surrounded by three oxygen (O) atoms.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
A sodium atom will readily lose an electron to chlorine atom. What type chemical bond is formed?
An ionic bond is formed when a sodium atom loses one electron to become a positively charged cation and a chlorine atom gains one electron to become a negatively charged anion. These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, forming a stable ionic compound known as sodium chloride (table salt).
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is tranferred from one to the other?
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium the atom of chlorine does what?
The atom of chlorine gains an electron from the sodium atom to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a negatively charged chloride ion.
WHAT atom is the anion in sodium chloride salt?
The anion is chlorine (Cl-).
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and the chlorine atom become one a valves electron is transferred from one to another?
The sodium atom becomes a singly positively charged cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a singly negatively charged anion.
How many electrons in a chlorine anion?
A chlorine anion has gained one electron, resulting in a total of 18 electrons. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, but gaining one electron makes it negatively charged, with a total of 18 electrons in the anion.
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?
Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
When a neutral atom gains electrons it is then?
This atom become an anion.
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What is the anion of chlorine?
The anion of chlorine is chloride (Cl-).
When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
