Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
13 protons and 14 neutrons. The fact that its an ion doesn't change that ... only the number of electrons.
The protons have a positive charge and the electrons have a negative charge, so it would be 7 + -5, so the charge is +2.
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
Differences:- they have different atomic masses and numbers. meaning that they have a different amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Sodium ion is charged +ve Neon is neutral Sodium ion forms salts neon is a gas Similarities:- they have the same electronic configuration.

Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have
Actually, neutrons (because they have a neutral charge) are not involved in making an atom or molecule an ion -- only protons and electrons do that. So, the number of protons compared to the number of neutrons doesn't matter.
The simplest way to figure this out is as following: the atomic number of sodium is 11, which gives you the number of protons. The number of electrons = the number of protons. The number of neutrons is the atomic weight (22.98 in this case) rounded minus the number of protons. Therefore sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Hope this helps! :)
