Why is the ionization energy of a sodium atom greater than that of a potassium atom?
Caesium's single outer electron is much further from the nucleus than that of sodium, so caesium loses its valence electron much easily than sodium, therefore caseium is much more reactive than sodium.
What is the outer electron arrangement of sodium azide?
I think it is that there is only 1 electron in its outer shell.
How many outer ring electrons does a sodium atom have?
Sodium has one electron in its outer ring.
What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
it becomes a sodium cation
How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.

Are valence electrons held loosely by the atom?
Assuming you are talking about the electrons in their shells (not the displaced ones):It depends on the distance of those electrons from the nucleus. For example electron in the outer shell of potassium (K) is further away form the nucleus than electron in the outer shell of sodium (Na).It means that potassium can lose this electron in outer shell easier than sodium does, and therefore is more reactive than sodium.

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+
What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
Electron structure in outer shell of sodium?
3s1
What phrase describes the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Sodium and chlorine are in the same period on the periodic table explain the difference in their sizes?
Sodium is larger than chlorine because chlorine has more protons and outer level electrons which gives the positive nucleus a greater pull on the outer electrons.
Why florin is most electronegative?
It has a relatively high positive charge on its nucleus, a small atomic radius, only one electron shell between its nucleus and its outer electron shell, and is one electron short of a full outer shell.
