What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
it becomes a sodium cation
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
it becomes a positive ionit becomes a positive ion
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF thev sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electrons configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
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+

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.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
