They all have full outer shells.
in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell
While a sodium ion and neon atom both have 10 electrons they are of different elements as a neon atom has 10 protons while sodium has 11. As a result the neon atom is neutral while the sodium ion carries a positive charge. So neon can exist on its own as a gas while sodium ion needs a negative ion to balance its charge and form an ionic solid.
The sodium atom would likely donate an electron to the neon atom, forming Na+ and Ne- ions due to their differing electronegativities. This would result in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms, leading to the creation of sodium chloride (table salt).
hey there buddie it because its an atom of a hydrogen molecule and its quite an angry felllo that sodium eh , whereas the neon is more calm and relaxed when it reacts
The Fluoride ion, neon atom, and sodium ion all have the same electron configuration and known as ISO-ELECTRONIC ions.
The nucleus of sodium has a greater pull on the electron in the outer shell compared to the nucleus of neon. This is because sodium has one less electron in its outer shell than neon, resulting in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electron in sodium.

Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
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 does an atom have in common with an ion?
neon
A sodium ion is a sodium atom that has lost an electron, giving it a positive charge. Neon, on the other hand, is a noble gas with a complete outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive. Sodium ions are typically involved in chemical reactions, while neon atoms are inert.
Yes, when a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound (sodium chloride), it does not produce neon or argon. Neon and argon are noble gases with stable electron configurations, while sodium and chlorine react to achieve stable electron configurations by forming an ionic bond in sodium chloride.
Both a neon atom and a sodium ion have 10 electrons. Neon is a noble gas with a full valence shell, while a sodium ion has lost one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The sodium atom would likely donate an electron to the neon atom, forming Na+ and Ne- ions due to their differing electronegativities. This would result in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms, leading to the creation of sodium chloride (table salt).
Sodium is atomic number 11, while neon is atomic number 10. We would already expect sodium to be heavier, but the most common stable isotope of sodium has 12 neutrons, and the most common stable isotope of neon has only 10. Since the atomic weight can be approximated by the sum of neutrons and protons (and the number of protons is the atomic number), we can guess that sodium's atomic mass is 23 and neon's is 20.
No, a neon-22 atom has the same number of electrons as a neon-20 atom, which is 10 electrons. The difference between neon-22 and neon-20 lies in their number of neutrons, with neon-22 having 12 neutrons and neon-20 having 10 neutrons.
An atom of calcium has 20 protons in its nucleus, while an atom of neon has 10 protons. Calcium typically forms ionic bonds in compounds, while neon is a noble gas that does not typically bond with other elements.
