Fluffy pancakes. Baking powder and baking soda. Both of them are used so frequently in quick baking projects that unless you are a recipe developer, rarely do you consider what each of them actually does for your finished product.
Sodium chloride and potassium chloride are ionic compounds. Both are solids, where cations and anions are in a closed packed structure. Sodium and potassium are group 1 metals, which have the capability to make +1 cations.Chloride is the -1 anion made by group 7 element, chlorine.Since group 1 elements are electropositive and group seven elements are electronegative, their electronegativity difference is larger. So they form ionic bonds.odium and potassium are group 1 metals, which have the capability to make +1 cations. Chloride is the -1 anion made by group 7 element, chlorine.

Chloride is a monovalent ion with -1 charge. Therefore, it has 18 electrons and seventeen protons. The electron configuration of chloride is 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 3s 2 3p 6. Chloride exists in ionic compounds such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and HCl, which are ionic. Chloride has achieved the Argon electron configuration, therefore, stable than the chlorine atom. â¢ Chloride ion is attracted to positively charged electrodes or other positively charged chemical species, but chlorine does not.
