What the difference between a sodium atom (Na) and a sodium ion (Nal+)

Chemistry

vichka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

So a sodium atom has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 meaning it has 1 electron on its outer shell. It has a neutral charge since the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

A sodium ion is one that has lost the electron on its valence shell. The electronic configuration is 2,8 and it has a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Number \  of \  electrons \ and \  net \ charge}}

Explanation:

Remember that protons have a positive charge of +1 and electrons have a negative charge of -1. Atoms have protons and electrons.

A sodium atom has the electron configuration of 2-8-1. It has 11 electrons and its atomic number (number of protons) is also 11. This means it is a <u>neutral</u> atom because the charges of the electrons (-11) and protons (+11) balance each other out.

However, a sodium ion is different. It loses the 1 valence electron, so it only has 10 electrons. It still has the same atomic number of 11.

It is a not a neutral atom because the charges of the electrons (-10) and protons (+11) do not balance out. It has more protons and a net positive charge of +1. It is a <u>cation</u> or a positively charged ion.

Which statement accurately describes the illustration?
jasenka [17]
I'm not sure but I think it is A. image one has the most spread out particles like a gas, and b has closer together particles like a liquid or solid. since there are no choices that say A=gass and B=solid, so I am guessing it is answer A.

Si se tiene 1mol de NO . cuantas moleculas de NO hay
kumpel [21]

if you have 1mol of NO. how many molecules of NO are there

Answer:

6.02 x 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NO = 1 mole

Unknown:

Number of molecules in NO;

Solution:

A mole of compound contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

  1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

So, 1 mole of NO contained 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.<span>
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

</span><span>ΔT = -K (m) (i)

</span>ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent. 
<span>
K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent. 
</span><span>
m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent. 
</span><span>
i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.</span>
