When struck with a sharp blow, ionic compounds tend to shatter into pieces due to their brittle nature, whereas metallic substances tend to deform and change shape due to their malleability and ductility.
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
You would need to add 35.5 g of Cl to combine with 23 g of Na. This is because Na and Cl combine in a 1:1 ratio by mass based on their atomic weights (Na = 23 g/mol, Cl = 35.5 g/mol).
The net ionic equation for Na^+ + Cl^- is Na^+ + Cl^- β NaCl, which represents the formation of sodium chloride when Na^+ and Cl^- ions combine. This equation shows the reactants and products without including spectator ions that do not participate in the reaction.
Na+ is called a sodium cation, and Cl- is called a chloride anion.
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.
When struck with a sharp blow, ionic compounds tend to shatter into pieces due to their brittle nature, whereas metallic substances tend to deform and change shape due to their malleability and ductility.
Na is sodium (11) Cl is Chlorine (17)
The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
The symbol for sodium is Na and 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.
