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).
How many electron dots does sodium have?
The valence shell of sodium has one electron.
How many electron are in an neutral atom of sodium?
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium
In sodium fluoride sodium has the electron configuration of which other element?
Sodium fluoride has electron and ionic elements. This is taught in science.
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+
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.
Sodium has one electron in its outer shell According to the octet rule?
I think it wants to give up an electron
Which element will give its electron away?
Any Group 1 or Group 2 element will easily give up an electron. examples are: Sodium (Na) Potassium (K) Magnesium (Mg) Strontium (Sr)
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).
How many electron dots does sodium have?
The valence shell of sodium has one electron.
How many full electron levels does sodium?
there is 2 full electron levels in sodium!!
How many electron are in an neutral atom of sodium?
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
In sodium fluoride sodium has the electron configuration of which other element?
Sodium fluoride has electron and ionic elements. This is taught in science.
Will a chlorine ion lose its extra electron to a sodium ion when they are separated by an electric field in an aqueous solution?
no, because the electric potential of sodium is so low.But chlorine will give electron to proton to form hydrogen gas
Why does sodium form a 1 plus ion and magnesium 2 plus ion?
This is due to the difference between the two elements regarding their valence electrons as neutral elements. Sodium has a single electron in its valence shell, which it gives up to have a stable octet; by giving up one electron, sodium acquires a 1+ charge. Magnesium has two electrons in its valence shell that it will give up to have a stable octet; by giving up two electrons, magnesium acquires a 2+ charge.
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion?
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
