Rxn - Metals + Chlorine Flashcards
metal + chlorine -> ?
ionic chlorides (metal chlorides)
ionic chlorides or simply metal chlorides are formed how?
metal (loses elecs -> +ve charge) + chlorine (gains elec -> -ve charge) -> IONIC CHLORIDES, Metals form them bcs they give elecs to chlorine to form ions
prps of metal chlorides
solids, conduct electricity in sols or molten state -> electrolytes, high melting nd boiling points -> x volatile
sodium chloride
NaCl -> ionic compound or electrovalent compound hving Na+ and Cl-
