Sodium does not donate electrons. Sodium IONISES, that is it loses one electron per atom to form the cation Na(+).

Sodium lose one electron, aluminium lose three electrons.Chlorine accept one electron, oxygen accept two electrons.


Does sodium chloride share electrons?

No, sodium chloride does not share electrons. It is an ionic compound formed by the transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of Na+ and Cl- ions which are held together by electrostatic forces.


How do you determine if an object is metal?

if the element donates electrons then it is called a metal. eg. sodium, iron,etc.


Does boron accept or donates?

When going through an ionic bond, boron gives away three electrons.


How many electrons does sodium lend?

only one electron can be lost from the sodium atom.


When sodium and chlorine combine what happens to the electrons?

When sodium and chlorine combine to form sodium chloride (table salt), sodium donates an electron to chlorine. Sodium becomes a positively charged ion (Na+) while chlorine becomes a negatively charged ion (Cl-). This ionic bond forms due to the attraction between the oppositely charged ions.


How many protons electrons and neutrons does sodium contain?

23Na is the stable isotope of sodium. In its neutral state it has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, hence 11 electrons. Its commonest oxidation state is +1 (meaning that it 'donates' a single electron). Hence, a sodium ion has 10 electrons. Please see the links.


If chlorine receives an electron from sodium this would be an example of what kind of bond?

Ionic bond. Chlorine and sodium will form an ionic bond by transferring electrons. Sodium donates an electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride.


Is Sodium Erythorbate ionic or covalent?

Sodium Erythorbate is an ionic compound. Sodium ion (Na+) is a metal that donates electrons to the erythorbate ion, resulting in an electrostatic interaction between the positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged erythorbate ion.


What type of bond is sodium oxide?

Sodium oxide is an ionic bond. Sodium (Na) is a metal which donates electrons to oxygen (O), a non-metal, creating a strong electrostatic attraction between the positively charged sodium ions and the negatively charged oxide ions.


Is salt an electron acceptor?

Table 'Salt' is NaCl Sodium Chloride and is not a proton donor has it has no hydrogen to donate


When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?

When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
