What ion will sodium form?

Sodium is a non-transition metal so it can only form one type of ion, that is Na+ or Na+1. It loses it's only valence electron to a nonmetal so that it can assume a noble gas configuration and be at its most stable state.


What happens when a sodium ion is attracted to a chloride ion?

When a sodium ion is attracted to a chloride ion, they form an ionic bond due to their opposite charges. The positive sodium ion is attracted to the negative chloride ion, leading to the formation of solid sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt.

Is sodium a positive ion?

Yes, sodium is a positively charged ion in its ionic form. It typically forms a +1 ion by losing one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.


Does sodium form a negative ion?

Sodium does not form negative ions under normal circumstances, but it is possible for sodium to form negative ion Na- under laboratory conditions. But usually, and almost always used for ease of learning and usage, Sodium forms a positive ion Na+ and loses an electron to achieve noble gas configuration, being a Group 1 metal, rather than gain an electron to retain its incomplete valence shell.
