The easiest way for sodium (Na) to achieve noble gas stability is for it to lose 1 electron. When this happens, you still have 11 protons, but now you have 10 electrons. 11 positives and 10 negatives equals an overall +1 charge. A cation is a positively charged ion.
The sodium ion carries a positive charge, making it a cation.
Sodium will form a cation (positively charged ion) when in an ionic bond.
Sodium become a cation (Na+) when loss an electron.
i am pretty sure it is a cation
cation (+ ion)
sodium forms cations
this answer is crapy
CATION: Na+ ANION: F-
Sodium cation (Na+) and oxalate anion (C2O42-)
Sodium and Chlorine form Sodium Chloride when they react. This is because the cation of sodium is added to the anion of chlorine.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ionic compound consisting of a sodium cation na+ and an hydroxide anion OH-.
cation
CATION: Na+ ANION: F-
Sodium from the cation sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) from the anion.
When a sodium cation encounter a chlorine anion.
sodium hydroxide is itself a chemical. It can disassociate into a sodium cation and a hydroxide anion
Sodium cation (Na+) and oxalate anion (C2O42-)
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
Ionic bond between sodium cation and dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion. Covalent bonding between the atoms in dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion.
Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.
Because the formula unit is NaCl.In sodium chloride, sodium is a cation which is named first. It is followed by ame of anion which is chlorine.
Na+ is the sodium cation, Cl- is chlorine anion.
Sodium is monovalent, the cation is Na+. Chlorine is monovalent, the anion is Cl-.
The formula unit NaCl contain one sodium atom.
