Question

What is chemical reaction in which the exchange of electropositive and electronegative icons occurs in aqueous solution

Answer 1

Chemical Reaction:-

$\rm \: Na \: - \: {e}^{ -} \longrightarrow \: {Na}^{ + } \:{ \red{ (electropositive)}} \\ \rm \: Cl \: + \: {e}^{ - } \longrightarrow \: {Cl}^{ - } \: \: {\red{(electronegative)}}$

Therefore,

$\: \: => \: \rm { \green{Na + Cl \longrightarrow Na ^{ + } Cl ^{ - } or \: NaCl}}$

So,

Since Sodium was an electropositive and chlorine was electronegative, both the charges attract together and forms an ionic bond.

What are electropositive and electronegative element?

:- A metallic element, whose one atom readily loses electron (s) to form a positively charged ion, is an electropositive element.

:- A non metallic element, whose atom readily accepts electron (s) to form a negatively charged ion, is an electronegative element.
