Sodium forms the Na+ ion.
Sodium is a cation and therefore it is written as Na+
Na+
enter the symbol of a sodium ion followed by the formula of a sulfate ion
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.
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.
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.

Na+ is the medical and chemical symbol for 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.
There is no such thing as Na3. Na is the symbol for sodium and as an ion, it will have a +1 charge.
