difference between two isolated sodium atoms is that one has more neutrons in its nucleus than the other, so that they are distinct isotopes of sodium. For a short time, atoms of the same isotope of sodium can also be different because one is more excited than the other.
What else can I help you with?
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
How many proton does an atom of sodium have?
The atom of sodium has got 11 protons.
Is sodium and chlorine a pair of isotopes?
Sodium and chlorine are elements. If you mean one sodium atom and one chlorine atom yes they would be both isotopes but of different elemnts. If they were randomly sampled from nature the sodium atom would almost certainly be sodium-23 (there is only a trace of sodium-22 found in nature) and the chlorine atom would most likely be chlorine-35 as this isotope is about 75% of chlorine)
Is sodium an atom?
No. It is an element. Although you can have one atom of sodium.
Why is the atomic number for sodium 11?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. For example, Sodium's atomic number is 11. This tells us that an atom of sodium has 11 protons in its nucleus. The interesting thing here is that every atom of sodium contains 11 protons. If an atom doesn't have 11 protons, it can't be an atom of sodium. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus of an atom creates a different element. For example, removing one proton from an atom of sodium creates an atom of neon.
How many atoms in sodium fluoride?
One atom of sodium and one atom of fluorine.
How is an atom of the element sodium structurally different from an atom of magnesium?
A sodium atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons including 1 outer shell electron A magnesium atom has 12 protons and 12 electons of which 2 are in the outer shell. Sodium loses its valence electron more easily than magnesium does, making the sodium much more reactive.
If an atom of sodium combines with an atom of fluorine what is the name of the new compound?
The compound formed when an atom of sodium combines with an atom of fluorine is called sodium fluoride.
Is a sodium atom is larger than a silicon atom?
No, a silicon atom is larger than a sodium atom. This is because silicon has more electrons and protons than sodium, leading to a larger atomic radius.
Is sodium atom or chloride ion negatively charged?
Sodium Atom
Is sodium atom is a isolated atom?
yes sodiom atom is an isolated one it is the atom of sodium sodium chloride is salt
How many electrons does a sodium atom have if it is not an ion?
Sodium has 11 electrons.
