The Sodium atom has 11 electrons and so it wants to lose 1 electron when it reacts (so that it can gain a stable noble gas electron arrangement - full outer shell)
The sodium ion formed will have 11 protons, 10 electrons and 12 neutrons, as well as a charge of 1+ (because there is one more positive particle than there is negative particles).
There are a total of 11 electrons in Sodium.
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number; sodium has 11 electrons. The number of protons is the same.
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
Sodium has an Atomic Number of 11 and an Mass Number of 23.This means an atom of Sodium has 11 Protons and therefore 11 electrons.
there are 11 protons and 11electrons
There are a total of 11 electrons in Sodium.
In this reaction, sodium is being oxidized. When sodium reacts with chlorine gas, sodium atoms lose electrons to form sodium ions, and this process involves the loss of electrons, which is characteristic of oxidation.
Only if electrical neutrality is required. A sodium cation, for example, has the same number of electrons as a neon atom.
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number; sodium has 11 electrons. The number of protons is the same.
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
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.
Sodium has an Atomic Number of 11 and an Mass Number of 23.This means an atom of Sodium has 11 Protons and therefore 11 electrons.

Sodium oxide has the chemical formula of Na2O. To find the number of electrons in this molecule, we first need to know the number of electrons for each of its constituent atoms. The number of electrons in a neutral sodium atom is 11 and the number of electrons in a neutral oxygen atom is 8. So, after doing some simple arithmetic, we find that sodium oxide has 2*11 + 1*8 = 30 electrons per molecule.
Melting is a physical process; reaction with sodium is a chemical process.
If the sodium atom is neutral (not an ion), it will have the same number of protons (11) as electrons. Therefore, a sodium atom with an atomic number of 11 will have 11 electrons when it is not an ion.
