A sodium atom has the electron configuration of [ 2,8,1 ] before bonding with a chlorine atom which has the electron configuration of [ 2,8,7 ].

because sodium becomes a one plus ion ( +1 ), it must lose an electron to become stable therefore when bonded the electron configuration becomes [ 2,8 ] this is the same as the noble gas, Neon [ 2,8 ].

because chlorine becomes a minus one ion ( -1 ), it must gain an electron to become stable therefore when boded the electron configuration becomes [ 2,8,8 ] this is the same as the noble gas, Argon [ 2,8,8 ].

hope this helps :)

Korvikt [17]
Moving the electron away from the nucleus requires energy, so the electrons in the outer shell will have more energy than ones in the inner shell. Electrons always have a charge of -1, so the charge in the inner and outer shell will be the same. Therefore the answer is 3

Which type of river is similar to a mature river, but flows more slowly so has less power to change the landscape? Select one: a
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Old Age River

Explanation:

Among the three stages of  the development of a river, which are the youthful, mature, and old age stages, the old age river is least dynamic

The water is very slow moving  with a low gradient and lesser erosive power to alter the landscape which results in the appearance of flood planes

Examples of old age rivers include, lower Ganges, lower Nile, Indus, and Yellow rivers

Old age rivers are characterized by a broad shape, with a wide flood plane, a very gentle gradient and the water current is low.

How do you tell if the sample of matter is solid,liquid or gas?
soldi70 [24.7K]
There is one simple way to determine between solids, liquids, and gases. Are you able to move the substance? And if you are, how does it move? If it takes on the shape of its new container, it is a liquid. For example, if you pour water from a cup into a bowl, it will fill the bowl, not stay in the same shape as it was in the cup. However, if you put a marble in a cup and then pour the marble into the bowl, it will remain the same shape, and is therefore a solid. If you move a gas into a container, and the container is not sealed, it will not remain in the same shape.
