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.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron to another atom what does it become?
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
When a sodium atom becomes an ion it does what?
A sodium atom would lose a electron so it would become a Na+ ion
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
If a sodium atom loses an electron to become a Na+ ion, its electron configuration will be the same as neon (1s22s22p6). Both sodium and neon have stable electron configurations.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
What happenes when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
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.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron to another atom what does it become?
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy?
It becomes a positive ion.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
When a sodium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron from its outer shell. This loss of an electron leaves the sodium atom with a positive charge, as it now has one more proton than electrons. This results in the formation of a sodium ion, specifically a sodium cation with a charge of +1.
What does a sodium atom become when it loses its only valence electrons?
Sodium ionSodium, Na, becomes a single positive cation Na+
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
When a sodium atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na+). When a sodium atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na-).
When a sodium atom becomes an ion it does what?
A sodium atom would lose a electron so it would become a Na+ ion
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
If a sodium atom loses an electron to become a Na+ ion, its electron configuration will be the same as neon (1s22s22p6). Both sodium and neon have stable electron configurations.
What happens to the size of a sodium atom when it loses an electron?
When a sodium atom loses an electron to become a sodium ion, it becomes smaller in size. This is because by losing an electron, the atom loses a negatively charged particle, causing the remaining protons in the nucleus to have a stronger pull on the electrons, resulting in a more compact arrangement.
