A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
The charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, the ion has 34 protons and 36 electrons, resulting in a net charge of 2- since there are 2 more electrons than protons.
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
The charge on an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, there are more protons (75) than electrons (71), so the ion would have a positive charge. The charge on the ion would be +4, since there are 4 more protons than electrons.
Sodium has one outer shell electron that it wants to lose. If it loses one electron, then there is more protons than electrons and the overall ion is positive. Because only one electron was lost, the charge is Na+1
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
The charge of a sodium ion with 11 protons is +1, since it has one more proton than electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge of an ion.
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
A positive sodium ion has a charge of +1, as it has lost one electron. Sodium normally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, so when it loses one electron it becomes a sodium ion with a charge of +1.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
A sodium ion has a charge of 1+ because it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons. Protons have a positive charge, whereas electrons have a negative charge, so losing an electron results in a net positive charge for the sodium ion.
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
A sodium atom contains eleven electrons and has a net neutral electrical charge, because the atom also contains eleven protons. A sodium ion contains only ten electrons and has an electrical charge of +1, because it also contains 11 protons.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
A net postive charge
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
