The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion.
In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.

If an electron is removed from a sodium atom the atom becomes a sodium ion?
Yes, the cation Na+.
What happens when Na turns into an ion?
Sodium atom lose an electron.
What are elemental ions?
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
What makes Na ion K ion and H ion similar?
All are ions with a 1+ charge due to the atom having lost its only valence electron.
Would an ion be found in a atom?
An ion is an atom with a couple of extra electrons, or which is missing a couple. So when common table salt (NaCl) dissolves in water, it comes apart as a positively charged sodium ion Na+ which is missing an electron, and a negatively charged Cl- ion which has the extra electron from the sodium atom.
Is Na atom ion or molecule?
We call sodium as natium in lathin. atomic number of sodium is 11.
Is an atom with 11 protons 12 neutrons and 10 electrons an isotope?
This is not an atom. This is an ion. This is Na+ ion.
Difference between Na and Na plus?
Na+ will be a sodium atom that has lost an electron. Normally in atoms the amount of protons and electrons are equal, when you see a plus or minus charge on an atom its due to the loss or gain of electrons.
What are the differences between natural atoms and ions?
The difference between atoms and ions is that the ion is the same as an atoms that has either gained or lost one or more electrons. Examples: Na is an atom, and it loses 1 electron to become the ion Na+. Cl is an atom, and it gains 1 electron to become the ion Cl-
When a sodium atom becomes an ion it does what?
A sodium atom would lose a electron so it would become a Na+ ion
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.
How do you convert a sodium atom into a sodium ion?
remove an electron. Na = Na+ + e-
What is the ion formed by a sodium atom called?
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+.
Is Na plus a ion?
The Na+ ion is a sodium atom that has lost an electron and therefore has a single positive charge. Because a neutral sodium atom has one valence electron, it will usually form such an ion when it enters a chemical compound.
What is a Na plus ion?
The Na+ ion is a sodium atom that has lost an electron and therefore has a single positive charge. Because a neutral sodium atom has one valence electron, it will usually form such an ion when it enters a chemical compound.
The symbol Na represents a sodium atom that has lost an electron?
This sodium ion is denoted by: Na+
If an electron is removed from a sodium atom the atom becomes a sodium ion?
Yes, the cation Na+.
