When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
What is the net charge of the ionic compound sodium sulfide?
Sodium chloride is neutral.
What elements has three energy levels?
On a periodic table, Sodium onwards (Na)
Difference between sodium atom and sodium ion?
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.
Do sodium and chlorine have the same number of electron energy levels?
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
How many levels are in an electrically neutral sodium atom?
there are 3 energy levels in a sodium atom. in the first one there are 2 electrons, in the second one there are 8 electrons and in the third one there is 1 electron.
What is the charge of the NaCl molecule?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not an element; sodium chloride is electrically neutral.
What is the neutral atom that has its first two energy levels filled has 1 electrons in its third energy level and has no other electrons?
Sodium
Why does sodium have electrons that are not arranged in its energy levels?
Sodium atoms do have electrons that are arranged in energy levels. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s22s22p63s1.
Why sodium chloride is harder substance at room temperature than glucose?
Because Glucose is neutral and Sodium-Cloride electrically charged.
How many electrons are in a neutral sodium's outer energy level?
One electron in 3s orbital of sodium
Is sodium sulfate ionic or molecular compound?
Sodium sulfate is an ionic compound, composed of monatomic and monovalent sodium cations and polyatomic and divalent sulfate anions. The anions are internally covalently bonded, but are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral.
Why is the chlorine ion attracked to the sodium ion?
When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
How many electron shells are in sodium?
Sodium has 3 energy levels, 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s.
What is the net charge of the ionic compound sodium sulfide?
Sodium chloride is neutral.
What elements has three energy levels?
On a periodic table, Sodium onwards (Na)
