They all have full outer shells.
in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell

Difference between sodium atom and sodium ion?
While a sodium ion and neon atom both have 10 electrons they are of different elements as a neon atom has 10 protons while sodium has 11. As a result the neon atom is neutral while the sodium ion carries a positive charge. So neon can exist on its own as a gas while sodium ion needs a negative ion to balance its charge and form an ionic solid.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium ion?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?
They would have a very strong disagreement, but there would be no chemistry between them, so no compound.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon ion and a sodium ion?
The Fluoride ion, neon atom, and sodium ion all have the same electron configuration and known as ISO-ELECTRONIC ions.
Why is sodium more reactive than neon?
hey there buddie it because its an atom of a hydrogen molecule and its quite an angry felllo that sodium eh , whereas the neon is more calm and relaxed when it reacts

What are the difference in stability between sodium ion and sodium atom?
Sodium atom has 11 electrons...whereas sodium ion has 10 electrons. Sodium ion is more stable because it has a complete octet(noble gas configuration-Neon) which makes it inert like noble gas. Sodium atom tends to lose the extra electron which is in 3-s shell to become stable.
What is different between a sodium ion and a neon atom?
The sodium ion has one more proton than neon and 2 more neutrons. It has a positive charge where neon is neutral but they both do have 10 electrons
What is the difference between an atom of calcium and an atom of neon?
Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?

Oxygen fluorine sodium magnesium aluminium and neon which one is a single atom?
neon

What does a neon atom and a sodium ion have in common?
Their electron configuration =)
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
neon!
What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?
They would have a very strong disagreement, but there would be no chemistry between them, so no compound.
How many must a neutral sodium atom lose in order to have electron configuration like neon?
A neutral sodium must lose one electron in order for the resulting sodium ion to have the same electron configuration as an atom of the element neon.
