eleven
A sodium ion with the symbol Na+ has 10 electrons. Sodium normally has 11 electrons, but when it loses one electron to form a Na+ ion, it has 10 electrons.
The number of electrons is 10.
there are 11 of them.
11 protons and 10 electrons
Sodium's atomic number is 11, therefore it has 11 electrons.
Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
The cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
Cations are formed when they give up electrons in ionic bonding.
Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. Na charged is an ion, meaning the number of electrons in the atom differs relative to the charge; for instance, Na+ is missing one of its valence electrons and Na- has an additional electron.
In sodium sulfide (Na₂S), two sodium (Na) atoms each lose one electron, resulting in a total loss of two electrons. Sulfur (S) gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Thus, in Na₂S, there are two electrons lost by sodium and two electrons gained by sulfur.
