sodium will usually have positive ions because they really want to get rid of that one valence electron, and since electrons have negative charge, the absence of one would make a positive ion.

What is negative and positive in NaCl?
No. It is a compound consisting of sodium ions and chloride ions.
What kind of charge would a sodium atom have if it lost one electron?
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
When electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride sodium is deposited on positive or negative electrode?
The metal plates out on the negative electrode, which provides the electrons needed to neutralize its positive ions.
What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
What happens when a sodium atom lose an electron in its outer energy shell?
it becomes a positive ionit becomes a positive ion
What is the charge of a positive sodium ion?
The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
Is sodium a positive cation?
Yes, sodium will lose an electron to form a positive ion, Na+
Does sodium form a positive or nigative ion?
Positive.
Is sodium chloride positive or negative?
Sodium chloride is neutral.
Positive and negative ions for sodium nitrate?
Sodium will be positive. Check your periodic table; all those elements on the left will always be positive ions.
What is a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion?
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?
Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-
Why is a neutral sodium atom more stable than a positive sodium atom?
its not
What kind of charge does each sodium atom has?
The sodium cation is positive (+1).
What is a positive sodium ion and sodium atom?
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
What is the major positive ion outside of cells?
Sodium is the major positive ion outside the cell. Potassium is the major positive ion inside the cell.
Does sodium have an ion with the charge of 1?
Yes, Na (Sodium) has a "POSITIVE" Charge of +1.
