They all have full outer shells.
in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell
When th soduim atom loses an electron it becomes poisitive which makes it an ion. The new ion configuraion is now called sodium ion and its configuration is now the same as a neon atoms configuration
they have different atomic masses and numbers. meaning that they have a different amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons. sodium is also a gas where as neon is a nobal gas
sodium must lose one electron A+
A sodium ion has the electron configuration of a neon atom, which is a noble gas.
The sodium atom has 1 more electron than the sodium ion.
The nucleus
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.
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
They would have a very strong disagreement, but there would be no chemistry between them, so no compound.
The Fluoride ion, neon atom, and sodium ion all have the same electron configuration and known as ISO-ELECTRONIC ions.
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

Sodium atom has 11 electrons...whereas sodium ion has 10 electrons. Sodium ion is more stable because it has a complete octet(noble gas configuration-Neon) which makes it inert like noble gas. Sodium atom tends to lose the extra electron which is in 3-s shell to become stable.
The sodium ion has one more proton than neon and 2 more neutrons. It has a positive charge where neon is neutral but they both do have 10 electrons
Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
neon
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
Their electron configuration =)
neon!

A neutral sodium must lose one electron in order for the resulting sodium ion to have the same electron configuration as an atom of the element neon.
