When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?

An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.


How many electrons does it take for hydrogen and helium to become stable?

Helium is already stable. Hydrogen should gain or lose one electron to be stable.


What are the positively charged subatomic particles that remain when a hydrogen atom loses an electron?

The positively charged subatomic particles that remain when a hydrogen atom loses an electron are protons. Each hydrogen atom normally contains one proton, and when an electron is lost, the proton remains with a net positive charge.


How many lectrons are gained or lost in potassium?

Potassium loses one electron. All Alkali metals lose one electron.


Does hydrogen have a positive electiric charge or not?

Hydrogen can exist as a positively charged ion (H+) when it loses its electron, or as a neutral atom with no net charge when it has one electron and one proton.


What is charge on hydrogen?

The charge on a hydrogen ion is +1. This means that hydrogen loses its one valence electron to become positively charged.


What is the charge of a cesium (Cs) ion?

Cesium loses just one electron to form Cs+


What is the valence electrons in hydrogen?

there is one valence electron in hydrogen, and it needs one more electron to become stable


What charge forms potassium?

Potassium forms a +1 charge, meaning it typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the ion charge for sodium?

The ion charge for sodium is +1. This means that sodium loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Why does sodium loses an electron and attains 1 charge?

Sodium loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration like the nearest noble gas, which is neon. By losing one electron, sodium attains a full outer shell and becomes more stable with a positive 1 charge.
