Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is
.
In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion
.
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.
False, in an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature does not favor the formation of products. Instead, it favors the backward reaction. An exothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is transferred from the system out to the environment.
