Question

answer each question about the following atom when it becomes an ion. sodium determine the ionic name. ion write the chemical symbol and charge. the ionic charge of is achieved when the atom electrons.

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons. It loses 1 electron to achieve a stable electron - configuration like a noble gas. When it loses an electron, it forms a positively - charged ion.

Answer:

• Ionic name: Sodium ion
• Chemical symbol and charge: $Na^+$
• The ionic charge of $Na^+$ is achieved when the atom loses 1 electron.
