What is the number of valence electrons in Na?
Na has one valence electron i.e. 1 electron in valence(last) shell.
How do you determine electron density given atomic density?
The electron density is simply deduced from the atomic density as follows : if ne denotes the electron density and na the atomic density then : ne= z na with z being the number of valence electron per atom.
What is oxidation number for Na?
The oxidation number of sodium is +1. It is in the first group, which means it has one valence electron. In a reaction, it wants to lose that electron to be stable.
What element is group 1 period 3?
Third period has 8 elements. They have 3 electron shells.
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)

What is Na neutral but Na charged?
Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. Na charged is an ion, meaning the number of electrons in the atom differs relative to the charge; for instance, Na+ is missing one of its valence electrons and Na- has an additional electron.
Is na an element?
Yes. Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. Sodium is an Alkali Metal in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. Sodium has the atomic number 11, has 3 electron shells with 1 electron in the outer shell.
What is oxidation number for Na?
The oxidation number of sodium is +1. It is in the first group, which means it has one valence electron. In a reaction, it wants to lose that electron to be stable.
How are an Ion and electron different?
an electron is a subatomic particle which every atom has. an ion is a charged particle (Ca2+ or Na+) It has one or more electrons than the number of protons...
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+.
What element is group 1 period 3?
Third period has 8 elements. They have 3 electron shells.

What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?
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.
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-)
