The characterization of element for an atom or ion is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus, which remains the same in neutral atoms and in all ions of the element.

What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion?
Both fluoride ion and sodium ion are isoelectronic with neon. That means all have 10 electrons.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon ion and a sodium ion?
The Fluoride ion, neon atom, and sodium ion all have the same electron configuration and known as ISO-ELECTRONIC ions.
Why is sodium more reactive than neon?
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
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.
