Describe numerical method of the formation of iconic bond in sodium chloride
Answers
Answer:
hey here is your answer
When sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are combined, the sodium atoms each lose an electron, forming cations (Na+), and the chlorine atoms each gain an electron to form anions (Cl−). These ions are then attracted to each other in a 1:1 ratio to form sodium chloride (NaCl).
hope it help you ☺️
Formation of NaCl:
1. Sodium has atomic number 11, shows the electronic configuration 2,8,1 to become complete by it's octet state, Sodium looses it's 1 electron and forms the sodium ion Na+ (2,8).
Sodium (Na) (2,8,1) -------------> Sodium ion (Na+) (2,8)
2. Chlorine has atomic number 17, shows electronic configuration 2,8,7. To become complete by it's octet state, it accepts 1 electron shared by Sodium and forms the Chlorine ion Cl- (2,8,8)
Chlorine (Cl) (2,8,7) --------------> Chloride ion (Cl-) (2,8,8)
3. Due to the opposite charges, there is a attraction between this two ions and one new chemical bond is formed.
Na₊ + Cl₋ -------------> NaCl
About Sodium Chloride:
Sodium Chloride is a common salt which is generally referred as "common salt" also. Sodium Chloride is colorless and crystalline ionic compound. By the further reactions on Sodium Chloride, Various salts like Na2Co3 and NaHCO3 are produced.
i) NaCl is generally salty in taste.
ii) It is Colourless , Neutral salt.
iii) There is no water of crystallization in it's crystalline structure.
iv) When the NaCl is heated at 800 degree Celsius, then it melts. This state of salt is called as "Fused state of salt".
