Neon has 10 protons in its nucleus, but it naturally has the same number of electrons surrounding it, making it neutral.

It is possible to ionize neon, giving it 2 extra electrons and a charge of -2, but it won't retain ionization for any appreciable length of time

How does an atom of sodium has a larger mass than a atom of neon. how is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?

sodium has more protons and neutrons. electrons have practically no mass, valence electrons are just outer orbital electrons. sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Mass is 23. neon has 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 10 neutrons. Mass is just 20. The neon atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons for a mass number of 20. The sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons for a mass number of 23. The number of valence electrons has no bearing on mass number or atomic weight.


How many protons nuetronsand electrons does the element neon have?

Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons per atom. 20Ne is its most common isotope. It has 20 - 10 = 10 neutrons.

Do protons have electrons?

Not necessarily, the number of protons in an atom are exactly the same as the electrons in an atom. For example, sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. How many electrons does it have? 11.


Are sodium ion magnesium ion(Mg2) all isoelectronic?

Sodium ions (Na⁺) and magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) are not isoelectronic. Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons. Na⁺ has 10 electrons (11 protons minus 1 electron), while Mg²⁺ has 10 electrons (12 protons minus 2 electrons). Therefore, although both Na⁺ and Mg²⁺ have the same number of electrons, they differ in their nuclear charge, which affects their chemical behavior.

How many protons neutrons and electrons does sodium ion contain?

The simplest way to figure this out is as following: the atomic number of sodium is 11, which gives you the number of protons. The number of electrons = the number of protons. The number of neutrons is the atomic weight (22.98 in this case) rounded minus the number of protons. Therefore sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Hope this helps! :)
