Question

Each electron has a charge of 1–, and each proton has a charge of 1+. You can calculate the charge of an atom by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. Move an electron from the sodium to the chlorine atom.

Answer 1

A.What are the charges of each atom now?

Sodium: +1___ Chlorine: __-1___

B.Is each ion stable? Explain.

-Electromagnetic force pulls them together

Answer 2

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

The creation of bonds:

`Na \to Sodium \\\\Cl \to Chlorine`

Na has one electron of valence, and Cl has 7 electrons of valence. The transfer of electrons should be made to form a relation of such a nature. All relations among ionic and non is here Sodium is the metal and chlorine is the non-metal.

`\to Na \longrightarrow Na^(+) + e^(-)`

Neon isoelectronic

`\to Cl + e \longrightarrow Cl^(-)`

Argon isoelectronic

`\to Na+Cl \longrightarrow NaCl\\\\\to Na^(+) + Cl^(-) \longrightarrow Na^(+)Cl^(-)\\\\`
