Simply: YES
The monoatomic sodium ion would have a valence of 1 and a charge of +1.
The charge of a sodium ion is +1.
The sodium atom is much bigger than a sodium cation with a plus 1 charge, because the "lost" electron of the ion had a higher principal quantum number than any remaining electron in the ion and therefore was distributed through a larger volume of space than any of the remaining electrons.
It becomes what is known as a monovalent cation, meaning it has a positive charge of plus one.
Simply: YES
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
The monoatomic sodium ion would have a valence of 1 and a charge of +1.
The charge of a sodium ion is +1.
The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
Sodium is in group one, chlorine in group 7. This means that a Sodium ion has a charge of +1, and a Chlorine ion has a charge of -1.
The sodium atom is much bigger than a sodium cation with a plus 1 charge, because the "lost" electron of the ion had a higher principal quantum number than any remaining electron in the ion and therefore was distributed through a larger volume of space than any of the remaining electrons.
Yes, Na (Sodium) has a "POSITIVE" Charge of +1.
A sodium ion always has a +1 charge
It becomes what is known as a monovalent cation, meaning it has a positive charge of plus one.
Sodium, Na, is a group 1 element and generally holds a +1 charge.
A sodium ion would have a charge on it, such as a positive charge, a cation, or a negative charge, an anion. Take your charge to be Na+1. This means that sodium is missing one electron, thus having one more proton giving it a positive charge. Na normally has 11 electrons, but this plus one knocks it down to 10. Neon at a neutral charge has 10 electrons. So, a sodium ion and neon atom have the same number of electrons (but only if the Na ion is +1 charge).
