What element has the electron distribution of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4?
selenium
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
What is the number of valence electrons in Na?
Na has one valence electron i.e. 1 electron in valence(last) shell.
How is the electron configuration for both a cation and a anion differ from its neutral atom?
Let us assume that we have Sodium (Na), it has the ground state electron configuration of: [Ne]3S1. The ANION is negative, and thereby has more electrons, the Na anion(Na.) would have the following electron configuration: [Ne]3S2. The CATION(which is a positive ion) of Na(Na+) would have [Ne] as it electron configuration(as it loses an electron and becomes "equal" to Neon)
Did sodium donates or accept electrons?
Sodium donates one electron from it's valance shell and becomes the cation, Na + Having a 1 + positive charge as it is short the one electron.
About the electron configuration?
Electron configuration for an atom is the distribution of electrons on atomic orbitals.
What element has the electron distribution of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4?
selenium
What does the addition of an electron to sodium form?
A new ionic species - Na- (it does not exist) Perhaps you meant the loss of an electron? In this case, sodium readily loses an electron to form Na+.
How do you use electron distribution mnemonics?
2s.3s
What charge does the Na and CI atoms acquire when they react?
Sodium loses one electron, therefore Na+ Chlorine gains an electron, therefore Cl-
What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium fluoride?
In NaF, there exists Na+ and F- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [He]2s22p6 (for F-)
What noble gas has the same electron arrangement as sodium ion?
Neon has the same electron configuration as Na+ ion
How do you convert a sodium atom into a sodium ion?
remove an electron. Na = Na+ + e-
Which of these is the correct Lewis structure for a sodium atom?
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium chloride?
In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)
What electron distribution is Mn?
The electron distribution differs between energy levels. In this case, levels one and four have 2 electrons, level 2 has eight, and level 3 has thirteen.
The symbol Na represents a sodium atom that has lost an electron?
This sodium ion is denoted by: Na+
