False.
The symbol Na typically represents a neutral sodium atom with 11 protons and 11 electrons. If a sodium atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+).
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
The symbol for sodium with 11 protons and 10 electrons is Na+. The plus sign indicates that the sodium atom has lost one electron, resulting in a positive charge.
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
When a sodium atom and a chlorine atom exchange an electron, the sodium atom loses an electron to become a positively charged sodium ion, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become a negatively charged chloride ion. These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond to create sodium chloride (table salt).
Na^+ represents a sodium atom that has lost ONE ELECTRON.
The symbol Na typically represents a neutral sodium atom with 11 protons and 11 electrons. If a sodium atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+).
No. Na is the chemical sign for any sodium atom. The sign for ^^ is Na+1. No, I didn't make a mistake with the + or -. The + is for the charge. The electron has -1 charge, and 0-(-1)=1 (or +1). So the charge of a sodium atom with one lost electron is +1.
The symbol Na represents the element sodium.
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
A diagram showing the sodium atom as larger than the positive sodium ion would be representative since the positive ion has lost an electron, leading to a decrease in size due to the loss of electron-electron repulsion.
Rb+
The ionic symbol for chloride is Cl-. It represents the chloride ion, which is formed when a chlorine atom gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
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.
The symbol for sodium with 11 protons and 10 electrons is Na+. The plus sign indicates that the sodium atom has lost one electron, resulting in a positive charge.
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
