What else can I help you with?
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?
If a sodium atom loses an electron to become a Na+ ion, its electron configuration will be the same as neon (1s22s22p6). Both sodium and neon have stable electron configurations.
How many must a neutral sodium atom lose in order to have electron configuration like neon?
A neutral sodium atom must lose one electron to have the electron configuration of neon, which has a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. Sodium typically forms a +1 cation by losing this one electron to achieve a stable configuration like neon.
How many valence electron are there in sodium neutral atom?
There is one valence electron in a neutral sodium atom. Sodium has an electron configuration of 2-8-1, indicating it has one electron in its outermost energy level.
What does a neon atom and a sodium ion have in common?
Both a neon atom and a sodium ion have 10 electrons. Neon is a noble gas with a full valence shell, while a sodium ion has lost one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the electron configuration of an atom with the atomic number of 11?
The electron configuration of an atom with the atomic number of 11 (which corresponds to the element sodium) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 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.
What is the abbreviated electron configuration for an atom of sodium?
the abbreviated electron configuration of sodium is (Ne) 3s1
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF the sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electron configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium the atom of chlorine does what?
accepts an electron to become the chloride anion, Cl-
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
What is the valence electron configuration of the sodium atom?
The valence electron configuration of a sodium atom is 3s1, meaning it has one electron in the 3s orbital in the outermost shell. Sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, making it highly reactive.
How will electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a change in electron configuration. For example, a neutral sodium atom (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1) loses one electron to become a sodium ion (1s2 2s2 2p6). The electron configuration of the ion reflects this change in the number of electrons.
