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 loses an electron what does it become?
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
What charge will a Sodium atom have if it loses one electron?
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
What happens to the atomic number of sodium when it loses one electron?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
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 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 loses an electron what does it become?
It becomes a sodium ion with a charge of 1+.
What charge will a Sodium atom have if it loses one electron?
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
If sodium loses an electron it becomes?
A sodium ion with a positive charge or cation. It becomes Na1+
When a sodium atom loses one valence electron it gets a charge of what?
1+
What happens to the atomic number of sodium when it loses one electron?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
What happenes when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
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+
What is the charge of a sodium ion if it loses 1 electron?
It becomes what is known as a monovalent cation, meaning it has a positive charge of plus one.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in it's outer energry shell?
It becomes a sodium cation with a charge of 1+. Its formula is Na+.
What type of charge does a sodium ion have?
Sodium has one outer shell electron that it wants to lose. If it loses one electron, then there is more protons than electrons and the overall ion is positive. Because only one electron was lost, the charge is Na+1
