Why a sodium ion has a charge of 1 plus?

A sodium ion has a charge of 1+ because it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons. Protons have a positive charge, whereas electrons have a negative charge, so losing an electron results in a net positive charge for the sodium ion.

What has a positive ion?

A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).


Why can't sodium gain positive charge by aquiring a proton in it nucleus?

Elements are defined by the number of protons they have (their atomic number). If sodium "gained" a proton, it would become a magnesium atom. However, atoms cannot just "gain" and "lose" protons like it can electrons. Through nuclear decay processes, however, protons and neutrons can "interconvert." For example, a neutron can "turn into" a proton via beta decay.
