The atomic number of sodium is 11. Sodium is a metal and it has the electronic configuration: 2, 8,1. This configuration implies that, the electrons in an atom of sodium are distributed into three different shells and the outermost shell has one electron in it. If sodium decide to give away the electron on its outermost shell, it will have 10 electrons left and those electrons will be distributed in only the first two shells and then it will be described as an ion. The third shell will not exist again because the electron there has been given away. Thus, the sodium ion is going to have a smaller atomic radius because its size has been reduced. This implies that the sodium ion will have a smaller radius than the sodium atom.

Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-.  Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

What substances make up water?
ziro4ka [17]
A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets.


An iron pot is made up of only one substance, iron. Iron is an element classified as a transition metal


Iron. Elementsare pure substances that are made up of one kind of atom. Pizza is not an element because it is a mixture of many substances. Water is a pure substance, but it contains two kindsof atom: oxygen and hydrogen.

1.For the reaction P4 O10(s) + 6H2O(l) → 4H3PO4(aq), what mass of P
Alex17521 [72]
P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄
The equation shows us that the molar ratio of
P₄O₁₀ : 6H₂O = 1:6

We also know that one mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles. We can use this to calculate the moles of water.
moles(H₂O) = (5.51 x 10²³) / (6.02 x 10²³)
= 0.92 mole
That means moles of P₄O₁₀ = 0.92 / 6
= 0.15

Each mole of P₄O₁₀ contains 4 moles of P. 
moles(P) = 4 x 0.15 = 0.6 mol
Mr of P = 207 grams per mol
Mass of P = 207 x 0.6
= 124.2 grams
