Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium atoms has 1 valence electron, the 3s electron.  If it can lose the single 3s electron, it's outer shell will have 8 valence electrons from the lower energy shell: 2s^22p^6, the same electron configuration as neon.  This is a more stable arrangement.

Sodium want to give up an electron and "will always want to give up an electron* because less energy is needed to remove the one valence electron of sodium in order to have an octet configuration. This is the reason why sodium and other alkali metals form positive ions so easily.

<h2>Case study</h2>

For instance: In forming an ionic bond, the sodium atom, which is electropositive, loses its valence electron to chlorine. The resulting sodium ion has the same electron configuration as neon (1s2 2s22p6). It has a +1 charge, because there are 11 protons in the nucleus, but only 10 electrons around the nucleus of the ion

What<br>your events made Gautam Buddha to<br>go in search of the truth?​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The Buddha (also known as Siddhartha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama[note 3] or Buddha Shakyamuni) was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE).[5][6][7][note 4] He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and worshipped by most Buddhist schools as the Enlightened One who has transcended Karma and escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth.[8][9][10] He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay.[11] His teaching is based on his insight into duḥkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha – the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana.

The Buddha was born into an aristocratic family in the Shakya clan but eventually renounced lay life. According to Buddhist tradition, after several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the mechanism which keeps people trapped in the cycle of rebirth. The Buddha then traveled throughout the Ganges plain teaching and building a religious community. The Buddha taught a middle way between sensual indulgence and the severe asceticism found in the Indian śramaṇa movement.[12] He taught a spiritual path that included ethical training and meditative practices such as jhana and mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.

A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means "Awakened One" or "Enlightened One".[13] Gautama's teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Suttas, which contain his discourses, and the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice. These were passed down in Middle-Indo Aryan dialects through an oral tradition.[14][15] Later generations composed additional texts, such as systematic treatises known as Abhidharma, biographies of the Buddha, collections of stories about the Buddha's past lives known as Jataka tales, and additional discourses, i.e, the Mahayana sutras.
