The atomic number is equal to number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom or vice-versa. For any atom, there is no change in number of protons either by adding or removal of electron.

Since, sodium is a metal, it has tendency to lose electron in the presence of non-metal i.e. chlorine. Thus, after lose of an electron, there is no change in the number of protons or number of protons will remain same.

Therefore, atomic number of metal is 11 which is also equal to the number of protons implies sodium will have 11 protons in its nucleus.

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change? Some physical properties change, but the substance keeps its identity
elena55 [62]
Some physical properties change, but the substance keeps its identity.

When dealing with these kind of questions, understand that the keyword here is physical change. Thus, all options that says no physical properties change are WRONG. So this leaves us with only 2 answers left. However, this is a physical change, no chemical change. Thus, the substance will keep its identity and not change.

How many electrons are transferred between the cation and anion to form the ionic bond in one formula unit of each compound? (1
kodGreya [7K]

The number of transferred electrons to form the ionic bond in one formula unit of each compound is as below

NaCl = 1 electron

CaS = 2 electrons

BaO= 2 electrons

KBr=1 electrons

LIF = 1 electron



explanation

ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal . This bond is formed when electron are transferred between cation and anion. To know how many electrons transferred you look the oxidation state of the metal.


for example 

in NaCl only one electrons is transferred since Na is in oxidation state of +1. Na donate the one electron to Cl to form an ionic bond.  Ba  is in oxidation state  of 2+ and hence it  donate the two electrons to O to form ionic bond.
