Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
The charge of a sodium ion is +1.
The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
I predict that an ion of sodium will have a charge of plus one.
Sodium, Na, is in group 1 of the periodic table, so to achieve a complete valence shell, it forms a cation with a charge of 1, Na1+.
Sodium is in group one, chlorine in group 7. This means that a Sodium ion has a charge of +1, and a Chlorine ion has a charge of -1.
The sodium ion (Na+) is a cation (positive charge) and the fluoride ion (F-) is an anion (negative charge).
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.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons so the total charge of all the electrons in a sodium ion is -10.
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
It forms the Na+ ion.
