Which is more likely to form a cation between sodium and calcium?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Sodium is easier to form Na+ then Calcium forming Ca2+. The main reason is because Sodium has got 1 valence electron, which is more unstable than Calcium having 2 valence electrons. It requires less energy to remove one electron from Sodium than two electrons from Calcium. Therefore, Sodium is higher than Calcium in the reactivity series.
