The electronic configuration for the sodium ion, Na+ is
1s2 2s2 2p6 or [Ne]
In sodium, the ion formed is Na+ (sodium cation). Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
When sodium atoms lose an electron, they become sodium ions with a single positive charge (Na+). This occurs because the sodium atom has one valence electron in its outer shell, which it gives up to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sodium and lithium ions have a +1 charge because they lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Both elements have one electron in their outermost shell, so it is energetically favorable for them to lose this electron to attain a stable, noble gas configuration.
The cation Na+.
All sodium atoms, whether or not they are ions have 11 protons.

When sodium atoms lose an electron, they become sodium ions with a single positive charge (Na+). This occurs because the sodium atom has one valence electron in its outer shell, which it gives up to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Ions formed from sodium atoms have a charge of +1. Sodium easily loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a sodium ion with a +1 charge.
The noble gas electron configuration of sodium fluoride is [Ne]3s^1 3p^5. This means that it has the same electron configuration as neon, with an additional 3s^1 electron from sodium and a 3p^5 electron from fluorine.
In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)
Sodium and lithium ions have a +1 charge because they lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Both elements have one electron in their outermost shell, so it is energetically favorable for them to lose this electron to attain a stable, noble gas configuration.
Sodium has the electron configuration of neon.
The cation Na+.
All sodium atoms, whether or not they are ions have 11 protons.
Sodium fluoride has electron and ionic elements. This is taught in science.
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
When two sodium ions are put together, they may form an ionic bond by transferring one electron each to achieve a stable electron configuration. This bond results in the formation of a neutral sodium atom, as each ion becomes a sodium atom by gaining an electron.
