yes
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
The sodium atom becomes a singly positively charged cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a singly negatively charged anion.
It is called cation, as Na+.
cation
A positively charged cation
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
The cation, the positively charged atom, is named first and the anion, the negatively charged atom is named second and the suffix ide is added to the anions name.Na +andCl -formNaCl=========Sodium chloride
A positively charged particle formed from an atom [that has lost electrons] is called a cation.
Na+
a cation is a positvely charged atom, and if an element is positive, then you add "ion" to the end of the element. for example, sodium becomes sodium ion or Na1+ A Cation is a positive ion, that is, one that has fewer than four valence electrons. Some examples of elements that form cations are: * Lithium (Li) * Beryllium (Be) * Boron (B) * Sodium (Na) * Magnesium (Mg) * Aluminum (Al) * Potassium (K) * Calcium (Ca)
