the structure of an atom goes like 2, 8, 16, 32 (these are the maximum numbers an orbit can hold) and so on. Since the atomic number of Sodium (Na) is 11, the structure, or electronic configuration, is 2, 8, 1 because 2 plus 8 plus 1 equals 11.

How does the arrangement of electrons change when sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride?
each sodium atom loses an electron and each chlorine atom gains an electron OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost-Reduction Is Gain)
What is the Electron shell arrangement of a Silicon Atom?
what is the arrangement of electrons in an atom of a silicon
What is the electron arrangement in sodium?
9789
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion?
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.
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.

What happens then a sodium atom and a clorine atom exchange an electron?
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.
When a sodium atom has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron atom?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What is the electron arrangement of sulfur 2?
It has the same electron configuration as in a neon atom.
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
neon!
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
When sodium atom loses electron becomes?
A sodium ion.
