The Na ion is +1. It loses its 1 outermost electron to become +1.
A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).
The most likely ion charge for sodium (Na) is +1, as it typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Na⁺ represents a positively charged sodium ion and a sodium ion that has lost an electron. It indicates that the sodium atom has one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. It does not represent a negatively charged sodium ion or a sodium ion that has gained an electron.
The charge of Na is +1 and the charge of Cl is -1.
A cation is a postitve ion. Sodium (Na+) is a postitive ion. Therefore, Na+ is a cation. It's definitional.
A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).
An atom with an electric charge is termed an ion. Ions can have either a positive (cation) or negative (anion) charge. Common examples include Cl-, Na+, Mg2+ and O2-
Sodium is a cation therefore it is written as Na+
NaOH - Sodium ion (Na+) has a +1 charge, while hydroxide ion (OH-) has a -1 charge. NaOH - Sodium ion (Na+) has a +1 charge, while hydroxide ion (OH-) has a -1 charge.
positive charge/ Na+
Make sure you have the a as a small a. Na is sodium. As an ion it has a +1 charge, therefore positive
+1 Na+ ion is formed
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.
A good example of a negative ion is Chlorine minus (Cl-) which forms an ionic bond with Sodium plus (Na+), creating common table salt. Na+ + Cl- = NaCl
The sodium ion. Na(+)
The most likely ion charge for sodium (Na) is +1, as it typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
In table salt (NaCl), the sodium ion (Na+) has a charge of +1, and the chloride ion (Cl-) has a charge of -1.
