The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
An atom may have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. If it has a non-zero charge, it is said to be an ion.
positive charge/ Na+
Yes, Na (Sodium) has a "POSITIVE" 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.
For example the sodium cation: Na+.
A sodium ion with a positive charge or cation. It becomes Na1+
It gains a positive charge, generally being 1+
Make sure you have the a as a small a. Na is sodium. As an ion it has a +1 charge, therefore positive
There is no such thing as Na3. Na is the symbol for sodium and as an ion, it will have a +1 charge.
A sodium ion would have a charge on it, such as a positive charge, a cation, or a negative charge, an anion. Take your charge to be Na+1. This means that sodium is missing one electron, thus having one more proton giving it a positive charge. Na normally has 11 electrons, but this plus one knocks it down to 10. Neon at a neutral charge has 10 electrons. So, a sodium ion and neon atom have the same number of electrons (but only if the Na ion is +1 charge).
A magnesium ion will be smaller because there will be a greater Zeff on the electrons in the magnesium ion due to a greater number of protons in the nucleus.
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
