What is the structure of a sodium ion?
A sodium ion (Na+) is essentially a sodium atom which had been oxidized, losing one electron and gaining a positive charge. Thus, the atomic structure of a sodium ion is an atom with 11 protons in its nucleus, but only 10 electrons in its orbitals, thus explaining its positive charge.
What is the problem when cell expands and bursts because of high sodium ion around outside?
When the sodium ions are in higher concentration out side the cell, the cell shrinks. It does not expand and bursts. It can burst when the sodium ion concentration becomes very low, out side the cell.
How does a neuron create a positive feedback loop?
through what can be seen as the domino effect. when depolarization opens sodium ion channel and that results to the opening of more sodium ion channels. this creates a positive feedback loop.
Which solute is the least likely to cross a membrane by simple diffusion?
dissolved sodium ions.
Name the membrane valves that open and close for potassium efflux and sodium influx?
ion channels

What is the metallic ion in Na2S?
The metallic ion in this case is Na+, or sodium. If there is a metal ion in a chemical formula, it will be the one written at the beginning.
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.
