Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
Hg will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper.
The number of electrons is 10.
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
there is only one electron in the outermost shell of Na.
donate the electrons forming a cation.
Hg will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper.
Donate electrons: oxidation.Accept electrons: reduction.
eleven
The number of electrons is 10.
there are 11 of them.
Sodium's atomic number is 11, therefore it has 11 electrons.
11 protons and 10 electrons
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
yes
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
One of the hallmarks of metals is their habit of easily losing, or donating, their electrons. This isn't true of non-metals. Does that point you at the right answer?
