Is sodium a gas?
No, Na is sodium, an alkali metal. The noble gasses are in the far right column of the periodic table.
What is the closest noble gas to fluorine?
Neon
Is sodium a nonmetals or noble gas element?
Neither, Sodium is an Alkali Metal.
Which noble gas is a element that nitrogen is closest to?
neon
What noble gas the element nitrogen closest to?
neon
What is the noble gas configuration of sodium?
[Ne]3s1
What is the closest noble gas to gallium in terms of atomic number?
This gas is krypton.
What noble gas is oxygen closest to on the periodic table?
neon
What form do you get when sodium reacts with nonmetal chlorine?
a noble gas.
What noble or insert gas is used in street signs?
A noble gas is inert. However they sometimes sodium ions or mercury vapor.
What does outermost mean?
The orbitals and electrons that are of higher energy than those of the noble gas with the closest but lower atomic number. For example sodium full electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1 The noble gas configuartion is [Ne] 3s1 and the outer electron configuration is 3s1
When a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound the electron configurations of the ions forming the compound are the same as those of noble gas atoms?
That is correct. A noble gas (or at least all the noble gas elements heavier than helium) has an electron configuration of 8 electrons in its outer shell, and the sodium and chlorine ions in sodium chloride also have 8 electrons in their outer shell, just like a noble gas atom.
