because Na has one electron in its outer shell, the charge of the ion is Na+
The atom is neutral; the cation Na+ is of course positive.
sodium ions have +1 charge
1 because Na ions have a +1 charge while Cl ions have a -1 charge.
The compound Na2O is formed through a reaction between sodium metal (Na) and oxygen gas (O2). During this reaction, the sodium atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions (Na+), while the oxygen atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions (O2-). These ions combine to form the ionic compound Na2O.
Ions are atoms or molecules that have an electrical charge. Either + or -. Positive ions are often called cations while negatively charged ions are anions. For example, sodium in its elemental state has a positive charge and is notated as Na+ (the + shouild be superscripted). Chloride on the other hand is an anion and would be notated as Cl- (again with the supercript). These ions should look familiar as when they combine the form NaCl, or salt, which is not an ion as it has a neutral charge. The + charge and the - charge balanced and a stable compound was formed.
First of all atoms that have charge are called ions. Atoms with opposite charges will always attract each other to neutralize one another. And the reason why they have charge is due to a chemical reaction in aqueous solution that caused a separation of charges. For example: NaCl (table salt) mixed in water causes the molecule to break apart with (+)Na and (-)Cl which are called ions.
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
Na+ ions
Atoms are always without charge because this is the 'ground' state of any atomic element. The number of electrons equals the number of protons, so there is NO net charge. When electrons are gained (eg. by Cl2) or donated (eg. by Na) the compound can be formed by the newly formed ions (Cl- and Na+ will combine to NaCl)
Na + I -> NaI Na+ + I- -> NaI Ionic compounds are formed when electrons transfer between atoms, leaving ions behind. These ions then attract each other due to the opposite charges.
1 because Na ions have a +1 charge while Cl ions have a -1 charge.
Two ions are formed: Na+ and -OH
Find out number of electron's in one mole of sodium ion? 1 mole of atoms = 6.02*10^23 atoms 1 mole of electrons = 6.02*10^23 electrons A Na atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. Protons have a +1 charge and electrons have a -1 charge. A Na ion has 1 less electron than a sodium atom. One Na ion has 10 electrons. 1 mole of Na ions = 6.02*10^23 ions Each Na ion has 10 electrons. 1 mole of Na ions = 10 * 6.02*10^23 ions 1 mole of Na ions = 6.02*10^24 ions
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Na(BF4) forms so Na+ and (BF4)- are the ions produced
The compound Na2O is formed through a reaction between sodium metal (Na) and oxygen gas (O2). During this reaction, the sodium atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions (Na+), while the oxygen atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions (O2-). These ions combine to form the ionic compound Na2O.
There are two types of elements, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in NaCl and they exist as ions: Na+ and Cl- ions
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
