A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
If a sodium atom loses an electron to become a Na+ ion, its electron configuration will be the same as neon (1s22s22p6). Both sodium and neon have stable electron configurations.
When a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound are neon and argon the same as those in noble gases?
Yes, when a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound (sodium chloride), it does not produce neon or argon. Neon and argon are noble gases with stable electron configurations, while sodium and chlorine react to achieve stable electron configurations by forming an ionic bond in sodium chloride.
What does a neon atom and a sodium ion have in common?
Both a neon atom and a sodium ion have 10 electrons. Neon is a noble gas with a full valence shell, while a sodium ion has lost one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Why does an atom of sodium have more mass than an atom of neon?
Sodium is atomic number 11, while neon is atomic number 10. We would already expect sodium to be heavier, but the most common stable isotope of sodium has 12 neutrons, and the most common stable isotope of neon has only 10. Since the atomic weight can be approximated by the sum of neutrons and protons (and the number of protons is the atomic number), we can guess that sodium's atomic mass is 23 and neon's is 20.
Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?
No, a neon-22 atom has the same number of electrons as a neon-20 atom, which is 10 electrons. The difference between neon-22 and neon-20 lies in their number of neutrons, with neon-22 having 12 neutrons and neon-20 having 10 neutrons.
What is the difference between sodium ion and neon atom?
They all have full outer shells. in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell
Difference between sodium atom and sodium ion?
While a sodium ion and neon atom both have 10 electrons they are of different elements as a neon atom has 10 protons while sodium has 11. As a result the neon atom is neutral while the sodium ion carries a positive charge. So neon can exist on its own as a gas while sodium ion needs a negative ion to balance its charge and form an ionic solid.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?

What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
Oxygen fluorine sodium magnesium aluminium and neon which one is a single atom?
neon
When a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound are neon and argon the same as those in noble gases?
Yes, when a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound (sodium chloride), it does not produce neon or argon. Neon and argon are noble gases with stable electron configurations, while sodium and chlorine react to achieve stable electron configurations by forming an ionic bond in sodium chloride.
What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?
The sodium atom would likely donate an electron to the neon atom, forming Na+ and Ne- ions due to their differing electronegativities. This would result in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms, leading to the creation of sodium chloride (table salt).
What does a neon atom and a sodium ion have in common?

How many must a neutral sodium atom lose in order to have electron configuration like neon?
A neutral sodium atom must lose one electron to have the electron configuration of neon, which has a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. Sodium typically forms a +1 cation by losing this one electron to achieve a stable configuration like neon.
