What does a neon atom and a sodium ion have in common?
Their electron configuration =)
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
neon!
Why is the atomic number for sodium 11?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. For example, Sodium's atomic number is 11. This tells us that an atom of sodium has 11 protons in its nucleus. The interesting thing here is that every atom of sodium contains 11 protons. If an atom doesn't have 11 protons, it can't be an atom of sodium. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus of an atom creates a different element. For example, removing one proton from an atom of sodium creates an atom of neon.
How many must a neutral sodium atom lose in order to have electron configuration like neon?
A neutral sodium must lose one electron in order for the resulting sodium ion to have the same electron configuration as an atom of the element neon.
What are the difference in stability between sodium ion and sodium atom?
Sodium atom has 11 electrons...whereas sodium ion has 10 electrons. Sodium ion is more stable because it has a complete octet(noble gas configuration-Neon) which makes it inert like noble gas. Sodium atom tends to lose the extra electron which is in 3-s shell to become stable.
Difference between sodium atom and sodium ion?
While a sodium ion and neon atom both have 10 electrons they are of different elements as a neon atom has 10 protons while sodium has 11. As a result the neon atom is neutral while the sodium ion carries a positive charge. So neon can exist on its own as a gas while sodium ion needs a negative ion to balance its charge and form an ionic solid.
What is the difference between sodium ion and neon atom?
They all have full outer shells. in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
Oxygen fluorine sodium magnesium aluminium and neon which one is a single atom?
neon

What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?
They would have a very strong disagreement, but there would be no chemistry between them, so no compound.
