both are the same, 11.
11 electrons in a neutrally charged atom of sodium . It is the same number as the number of protons and the Atomic Number. However, the sodium ion (NOT Atom) has lost one electron , so there are now 11 protons(+), and 10 electrons(-). Hence 11(+)10(-)= 1(+) Hence the sodium ion is written as 'Na(+)'.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.
A sodium (Na) atom is neither an ion nor a molecule. It is a single, neutral atom with 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons orbiting around it. An ion is when an atom gains or loses electrons to become charged, and a molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together.
Sodium and potassium are two different albeit similar elements. A neutral sodium atom has 11 protons, 11 electrons and typically 12 neutrons. It forms and ion with 10 electrons. It has an atomic radius of 186 picometers. Potassium has a large, heavier atom than sodium A neutral potassium atom has 19 protons, 19 electrons ans usually 20 neutrons. It forms an ion with 18 electrons. Potassium's atomic radius is 227 picometers. Additionally, potassium is somewhat more reactive than sodium and has a lower melting point.
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.
only thing i could find is that the atomic number is the same

Both a sodium atom and a sodium ion have 11 protons in their nucleus, giving them an atomic number of 11. However, a sodium ion has lost an electron, resulting in a positive charge, while a sodium atom is neutral. Additionally, both forms of sodium have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.
No, a silicon atom is larger than a sodium atom. This is because silicon has more electrons and protons than sodium, leading to a larger atomic radius.
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
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.
No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.

The sodium ion has one more proton than neon and 2 more neutrons. It has a positive charge where neon is neutral but they both do have 10 electrons
The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
