It is neutral because it has 11 positive protons and 11 negative electrons, balancing the overall electrical charge.
A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. This corresponds to the atomic number of sodium, which is 11.
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
its not
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
If a neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons, it will have 11 electrons also.
A neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons. Sodium-25 refers to the isotope of sodium with 25 total protons and neutrons, so a neutral sodium-25 atom would still have 11 electrons to balance the 11 protons in the nucleus.
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
11 electrons in a neutrally charged atom of sodium . It is the same number as the number of protons and the Atomic Number. However, the sodium ion (NOT Atom) has lost one electron , so there are now 11 protons(+), and 10 electrons(-). Hence 11(+)10(-)= 1(+) Hence the sodium ion is written as 'Na(+)'.
A neutral atom of sodium has 11.
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.
There is one dot around the Na in the Lewis symbol for a neutral atom of Sodium.
All neutral sodium atoms have 11 electrons, regardless of the isotope.
