Sodium has the atomic number 11. How many electrons are in a sodium ion, which has the symbol Na=?
AlladinOne [14]
Atomic number is the number of protons of an atom. And, given that the atoms are electrically neutral and the charge of one proton is equal to the charge of one electron, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons. But, the sodium ion (Na+) has one positive charge, that means that it has lost one negative charge or one electron. Then, the sodium ion (Na+) has 11 - 1 = 10 electrons. <span>Then, the answer is that there are 10 electrons in a sodium ion. 

hope this helps :3</span>

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

One distinguishing characteristicof all three clades i.e Deuterostomia, Lophototrochozoa, or Ecydysozoa are  balstopore development, internal body cavity and exoskeleton respectively

Explanation:

Apart from molecular difference, there exist structural differences between the three clades, which are as follows –  

Deuterostomia – The development of embryo is different from the protostomes as the first opening in this clade is anus and the blastopores develops into the anus.

Lophototrochozoa – They do not have ant distinguished internal body cavity. Organs with in coelom can move freely. For example - flatworm

Ecydysozoa – have the ability to shed their tough and flexible exoskeleton i.e cuticle , several times throughout their life span
