Through the number of electrons in the last (valence) shell. Delete Sodium has the electronic configuration 2, 8, 1; therefore it's valency is 1.


What change in electron structure occures when a sodium atom becomes a sodium ion?

The valence electrons are either lost to another atom or the sodium atom gains valence electrons, it really depends on if what the sodium atom is bonding with has a lot or a little of valence electrons. The structure doesn't change though, just the number of valence electrons change. The nucleus is never changed when an ion is formed.
