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. A. What are the charges of each atom now? Sodium: Chlorine: Turn on Show charge to check. These charged atoms are called ions. B. Is each ion stable? Explain.
