Question

1. name the following ion: k+ (0.5 points) enter your answer 14. what ion would a stable atom of sodium form? (0.5 points) na3- na2- na2+ na1+ na3+ na1-

Explanation:

Question 13

The symbol \(K\) represents potassium. When an atom loses an electron, it forms a cation (positive ion). Since \(K^+\) has a +1 charge (lost one electron), it is named based on the element potassium. The naming convention for simple cations is the element name followed by "ion".

Sodium (\(Na\)) is in Group 1 of the periodic table. Elements in Group 1 have 1 valence electron. To achieve a stable electron configuration (similar to the noble gas neon, which has 8 valence electrons in its outer shell), sodium will lose 1 electron. When an atom loses 1 electron, it forms a \(+1\) ion. The ion formed is \(Na^{1 +}\) (or simply \(Na^+\)).

Answer:

Potassium ion
