As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom blanks an electron

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer: increases by

As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron

Explanation:

Chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5 showing 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.

Hence, it receives a single electron to achieve a stable octet structure with electronic configuration of

1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, Cl- is a univalent negative ion with 8 valence electrons in its outermost shell. The increase is shown below

Cl + e- --> Cl-

Thus, as a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron

Sodium metal (Na) reacts with chlorine gas ( Cl2 ) to produce solid sodium chloride (NaCl).
Fynjy0 [20]

The unbalanced equations are the equations with different atomic numbers on the sides of the reaction. The unbalanced reaction is Na + Cl₂ → NaCl

<h3>What are balanced equations?</h3>

Balanced equations are the chemical reaction representation that has an equal number of the atomic number of the same species on the left and the right side of the reaction.

An unbalanced equation between sodium metal and chloride can be shown as:

Na + Cl₂ → NaCl

The equation is unbalanced as the number of chloride ions is more on the reactant side than the product side.

The balanced reaction will be:

2 Na + Cl₂  2NaCl
