Yes.
A sodium ion. Cation. Na+ A chlorine ion. Anion Cl- Forms NaCl, sodium chloride.
The sodium ion. Na(+)
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
The compound NaCl contains sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms. Sodium contributes one positively charged ion (Na+) and chlorine contributes one negatively charged ion (Cl-) in the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
No. It is a compound consisting of sodium ions and chloride ions.
Sodium is a cation therefore it is written as Na+
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
This ion is sodium, Na+.
Each (notional) unit NaCl would yield a single sodium ion Na+ and a single chloride ion Cl-. The rub is that it's not quite this simple because sodium chloride in solid form is an extended matrix of NaCl units. There's a diagram on its wikipedia page.
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
In table salt (NaCl), the sodium ion (Na+) has a charge of +1, and the chloride ion (Cl-) has a charge of -1.
When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.
