It's possible because sodium has 11 protons and electrons but neon bass 10 protons and electrons.

Can a bar of gold be a molecular compound?

No. Gold is an element and forms relatively few compounds, none of which are likely to be in a bar of gold. A pure gold bar is better described as a unitary solid held together by metallic bonds, in which the valence electrons are distributed throughout the bar in such a way that any two parts of the bar that have the same volume are likely to contain the same fraction of all of the valence electrons.


Which is larger a sodium atom or sodium ion with a plus 1 charge?

The sodium atom is much bigger than a sodium cation with a plus 1 charge, because the "lost" electron of the ion had a higher principal quantum number than any remaining electron in the ion and therefore was distributed through a larger volume of space than any of the remaining electrons.


What part of the atom accounts for most volume?

the nucleus ^^to whoever wrote this answer.. you are stupid. the nucleus is where most of the MASS is contained. so the correct answer is that the volume is found around the nucleus NOT the nucleus... to the above who said he was stupid, you are stupid.


How are atoms arranged in pure metals?

Most metals are close packed that is, they fit as many atoms as possible into the available volume. Each atom in the structure has 12 touching neighbors. each atom has 6 atoms touching it in each layer. This is the best answer i could find feel free to improve and edit it


What is the volume of 30 g of sodium?

The density of sodium at room temperature is 0.968g/cm3. Density = mass/volume. To find the volume of a substance from its density and mass, divide the mass by the density. V = M/D = 30g/0.968g/cm3 = 31cm3

Why is sodium metal lighter than iron?

Because it has a fourth shell which means it's valence electrons are further from the nucleus (protons) meaning that there is less attraction between it's electrons and protons; this obviously forms a weaker bond. Sodium has only 3 shells which means its valence electrons are closer to the nucleus.

Does the volume of matter come from protons or electrons?

The number of electron orbitals is where the volume of matter comes from. The more electrons and orbitals, the more volume. The mass comes from the protons and neutrons.


How its made 2 M solution of Na OH?

First, you must either find or be provided with a known mass of sodium hydroxide and a volumetric vessel. You must also know the molecular mass of sodium hydroxide, which is about 40.00. If the volume of sodium is sufficient, you can complete the preparation by determining the volume of the volume of the vessel in litres, multiply this volume by twice the molecular mass of sodium hydroxide, and dissolve the resulting mass in the known volume.

What is 2 drops of sodium chloride?

This depends on: - the volume of the drop - the concentration of sodium chloride solution


Why is it advisable to remove sodium hydroxide from the burette as soon as possible after titration?

Sodium hydroxide, particularly highly concentrated sodium hydroxide, can dissolve glass if left sitting long enough. Therefore, if you leave the sodium hydroxide in the burette after finishing your titration, you could increase the volume inside the burette from the glass being dissolved from the inside out. This would make the burette measure the titration volume inaccurately and would invalidate the results of future titrations done with this instrument.
