Sodium only has one electron in its outer energy level which it wants to lose in order to leave a stable octet of electrons in the level below. Loss of one electron causes a charge of plus 1 on the remaining ion.
Magnesium has two electrons in its outer energy level, thus by losing these it takes on a charge of plus 2 and leaves a stable octet of electrons below in the next energy level.

What element does not form an ion with a charge 1?
sodium
What is the difference between a sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium has a positive charge of 1 while Chlorine has a negative charge of 1 when it is in its ionic form.
Does a sodium atom with 10 electrons have a positive net charge?
Sodium in its stable state have 11 electrons. Sodium with one net positive charge have 10 electrons in it. Sodium metal combines with chlorine gas to form table salt.
To form an ion does a sodium atom have to lose or gain a electron?
lose an electron, forms Na+, sodium with a charge of plus one.
Why is sodium a different element with different properties than magnesium?
Sodium has a charge of +1 in its ionized form while magnesium has a charge of +2 in its ionized form. This is due to the number of protons and electrons in each element. Having a different charge alters the types of reactions and products involved with that element.
What elements does not form an ion with a charge?
sodium
What element does not form an ion with a charge 1?
sodium
What is the difference between a sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium has a positive charge of 1 while Chlorine has a negative charge of 1 when it is in its ionic form.
When salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt become neg?
false
Salts consist of atomic particles that have what charge?
Ionic bond is present is salt. sodium and Chloride are ionically bonded to form Sodium chloride. Sodium is positively charged , While chlorine is negative charge
Does a sodium atom with 10 electrons have a positive net charge?
Sodium in its stable state have 11 electrons. Sodium with one net positive charge have 10 electrons in it. Sodium metal combines with chlorine gas to form table salt.
Can you explain formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium ions have positive charge whereas chloride ions have negative charge. They alternatively form electrostatic bonds to create the NaCl lattice which is ionic.
To form an ion does a sodium atom have to lose or gain a electron?
lose an electron, forms Na+, sodium with a charge of plus one.
Sodium forms an ion with a charge of what?
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
What net charge does a sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
Why is sodium a different element with different properties than magnesium?
Sodium has a charge of +1 in its ionized form while magnesium has a charge of +2 in its ionized form. This is due to the number of protons and electrons in each element. Having a different charge alters the types of reactions and products involved with that element.
What is the ionic charge of Na2?
N2O is a neutral molecule, nitrous oxide, it is isoelectronic with CO2. (There is an N2O- anion produced as an unstable intermediate in radiolysis experiments which dissociates to form O- radical anion and nitrogen.
