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.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
What is the symbol of a sodium ion followed by the formula of a sulfate ion?
enter the symbol of a sodium ion followed by the formula of a sulfate ion
What are the charges on the sodium ion and chloride ion after they combine?
Sodium is in group one, chlorine in group 7. This means that a Sodium ion has a charge of +1, and a Chlorine ion has a charge of -1.
What is the type of particle of sodium sulphate?
ion
What is meant by the term ion when a sodium changes from an atom to an ion?
An ion is a charged particle. A sodium atom is neutral and has one electron in the valence shell. When it loses its valence elctron, it is no longer neutral and becomes Na+ , i.e a charged particle, hence it is an ion.
What is the representative particle for sodium sulfide?
If you think to formula unit this is Na2S.
What non-metals can be bonded with metals to make salt?
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
What is the representative particle of potassium?
A representative particle is thought of as the smallest unit into which a substance may be divided without changing its composition. Some examples might be helpful. For a given chemical element, it's an atom. An atom of carbon is the smallest unit of carbon one can find.For covalently bonded compounds & diatomic molecules, the representative particle is a molecule. For example, an atom of hydrogen and an atom chlorine covalently bond to make a molecule of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and that's the smallest unit of this compound that there is. Because a molecule is a group of 2 or more atoms covalently bonded together, the smallest particles of ionic compounds are the respective ions. For example the smallest particle of the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) is a sodium ion (Na+) and a chlorine ion (Cl-).There is a "scaled up" application in physics and engineering, and it might apply to something like a grain of wheat being the representative particle of that grain crop. A kernel of corn might be the representative particle for that grain crop. A grain of salt might be the representative particle for granular salt as a market commodity. These are important because of considerations regarding density and "close packing" and "voids" in bulk quantities of each commodity. There are more examples of the application of the term if one looks.A given size granule of an aggregate might be the representative particle for analysis in something like moisture penetration in sand, small pebbles, or chunks of rock.On the other end of the scale, there are representative particles for certain applications in the physics lab where something like the characteristics of a particle beam may be under consideration. A certain particle of given mass and energy might be the representative particle for, say, the study of particle beam divergence.Most applications for the student will be in chemistry, and that's where the atom, molecule or, possibly, the ion, will be shown to be the representative particles of an element, a compound, or an electrolytic solution respectively.
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.
What colour is sodium ion?
Sodium ion is colorless.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?

What is a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion?
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
What is the symbol of a sodium ion followed by the formula of a sulfate ion?
enter the symbol of a sodium ion followed by the formula of a sulfate ion
