False.
This sodium ion is denoted by: Na+
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.
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
The sodium atom gives an electron to the chlorine atom to make the sodium and chloride ions respectively. Then they form ionic bonds forming sodium chloride.
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
Na^+ represents a sodium atom that has lost ONE ELECTRON.
This sodium ion is denoted by: 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.
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium

Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
neon!

A sodium ion.
Valence electron - Sodium loses one electron to form a sodium ion (valence of 1).
