∙ 14y agoonly thing i could find is that the atomic number is the same
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThey have the same amount of protons/neutrons They differ because the ion either has too many or too few electrons compared to the atom

∙ 14y agothey have same no of protons and neutrons.

∙ 12y agoAn ion indicates a change in the number of electrons. The sodium atom and sodium ion will still have the same number of protons and neutrons.

Na+ (the salty ion) is different from Na (no charge!) missing one electron and much more stable (non reactive) than the metallic atom element.

What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?
The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
Which atom will form an ion sodium or oxygen?
sodium
If an electron is removed from a sodium atom the atom becomes a sodium ion?
Yes, the cation Na+.
Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
A sodium ion is smaller in diameter than a sodium atom.
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion?
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.
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 is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?

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 ion?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
How does sodium atom form an ion?

What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
Is sodium atom or chloride ion negatively charged?
Sodium Atom
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.
Which atom will form an ion sodium or oxygen?
sodium
When a sodium atom becomes an ion it does what?
A sodium atom would lose a electron so it would become a Na+ ion
