What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
When sodium atom loses electron becomes?
A sodium ion.
When sodium and chlorine react the outermost electron of the sodium atom is?
Valence electron - Sodium loses one electron to form a sodium ion (valence of 1).
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
When sodium interacts with chlorine sodium loses and electron while chlorine loses one. this interactions forms?
ionic bond

What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?

Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
When sodium atom loses electron becomes?
A sodium ion.
When sodium and chlorine react the outermost electron of the sodium atom is?
Valence electron - Sodium loses one electron to form a sodium ion (valence of 1).
What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
it becomes a sodium cation
Which element loses electrons in sodium chloride?
The chloride ions lose a single electron each to become chlorine.
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
When sodium interacts with chlorine sodium loses and electron while chlorine loses one. this interactions forms?
ionic bond
When sodium reacts with chlorine does sodium gain or lose an electron?
Sodium only has one valence (outer shell) electron. It wants to fulfill the octet rule and have a full (8 valence electrons) outer shell. It could do this by adding 7 electrons to the one that's already there, or it could simply lose the one electron it has because the next shell is already full. But since it is "easier" for sodium to lose a single electron and requires the least amount of energy, this is what it does.
What is the electric charge on the resulting Na ion?
The Na ion is +1. It loses its 1 outermost electron to become +1.
