Sodium can become stable by losing 1 electron, forming a sodium ion with a 1+ charge, with the formula Na+. By losing its single valence electron, the resulting sodium ion achieves the noble gas configuration of neon, so that it has an octet (8) of valence electrons.

How are chloride ions made?
When chlorine gain an electron become the anion Cl-.
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged.?
negatively
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
when sodium valence electron is transferred to chlorine , both atoms become ions . the sodium atom becomes a positive ion . the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion .
To form an ion what does a calcium atom gain or loose?
An atom of Calcium will lose an electron to become a posotive ion.
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged?
negatively
What element can become stable by using one electron hydrogen farogen sodium nitrogen oxygen or chlorine?
Farogen is not an elemnt known to science. The element that can use one electron is chlorine, which achieves the octete when it gains an electron. hydrogen becomes the hydride ion with a stabel duet (He configutaration) Sodium can lose one electron to acheive the octet.
What does chlorine need to become stable?
A chlorine atom needs one additional electron in order to become stable.
If chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become a?
positively
When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
Can calcium become stable by losing 1 electron?
Calcium loses its two valence electrons to become Ca 2+ ion.
How can a nitrogen atom become an ion?
In a nitrogen atom's ground state, it has five atoms. The electron will have to gain three electrons to become stable.
How are chloride ions made?
When chlorine gain an electron become the anion Cl-.
How does chlorine satisfy its outermost shell?
It gains one electron to become Cl^-.
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged.?
negatively
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
