Na^+ represents a sodium atom that has lost ONE ELECTRON.
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
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 chemical symbol for a magnesium atom that has lost two electrons is Mg2+.
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
The symbol Na typically represents a neutral sodium atom with 11 protons and 11 electrons. If a sodium atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+).
Not quite. The symbol Na+ represents a sodium ion that has lost one electron, giving it a net positive charge. It no longer behaves like a neutral sodium atom and is more reactive in forming compounds.
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.
The symbol Na+ represents a sodium ion that has lost one electron, resulting in a positive charge. In chemical equations, it denotes the presence of a sodium cation in a compound or reaction.
Rb+
The symbol for sodium with 11 protons and 10 electrons is Na+. The plus sign indicates that the sodium atom has lost one electron, resulting in a positive charge.
Sodium is a cation therefore it is written as Na+
A diagram showing the sodium atom as larger than the positive sodium ion would be representative since the positive ion has lost an electron, leading to a decrease in size due to the loss of electron-electron repulsion.
