<span>Silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase the hardness and strength of sterling silver. Pure silver is relatively soft and prone to tarnishing so other metals like those that copper is used to reduce tarnishing and act as a solute in sterling silver. Copper is usually soluble in most solvents.</span>

The components of the substance is the solute and the solvent. The one that exists in a larger amount is most referred to as the solvent and the one that is in smaller amount is the solute. Comparing the amounts of the substances, the solute would be the copper.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and has a net charge of 0. When sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1. Why?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}.

In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion (Na^{+}).

Thus, we can conclude that when sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1 because sodium loses a negative electron when forming chemical bonds.
