What else can I help you with?
When Na and Cl combine to form a compound which atom will become a cation?
Sodium will become a cation with a 1+ charge and the formula Na+.
What is a partially filled outer electron level makes with?
A completley filled out electron level makes the atom stable
Why will atoms join together?
Atoms join together to form molecules in order to become more stable and achieve a lower energy state. This can happen through the sharing, gaining, or losing of electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, which is the most stable configuration for an atom.
What example of an ion and atom that are isoelectric?
An example of an ion and atom that are isoelectric is sodium ion (Na+) and neon atom (Ne). They are both isoelectric with each other because they both have 10 electrons. Sodium ion loses one electron from its neutral state to become Na+, while neon gains one electron to become Ne.
Does an atom become imbalanced with a positive charge?
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
When Na and Cl combine to form a compound which atom will become a cation?
Sodium will become a cation with a 1+ charge and the formula Na+.
How does a atom become stable?
When the atom has 8 valence electrons.
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an elctric charge?
An ion. Eg Na atom loses one electron to become Na+
To become stable an atom will always attemp to fill it's?
Nucleous
What is The loss of a particle as an atom tries to become stable called?
isotope
How many covalent bonds can a carbon atom from to become stable?
4
Do the symbol Na represents a sodium atom that has lost an electrons?
No. Na is the chemical sign for any sodium atom. The sign for ^^ is Na+1. No, I didn't make a mistake with the + or -. The + is for the charge. The electron has -1 charge, and 0-(-1)=1 (or +1). So the charge of a sodium atom with one lost electron is +1.
Does cl gain or lose to become more stable?
to become stable, it will gain an electron from a metallic atom otherwise it will mutually share electron(s) with another non - metallic atom, or even with itself
Does an atom become more or less stable as it loses neutrons?
It can do either, depending on it's state previous to losing neutrons. Generally if an atom is shedding neutrons it is doing so to become more stable.
How does carbon atom become stable?
The only way a carbon atom becomes stable is if they gain or lose electrons. Typically carbon will bond with other elements to do this.
When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
