Sodium will electrons to go from neutral to Na+1. Sodium, Na, has (number) total electrons, while the sodium ion, Na+1, has (number) total electrons.

When an ion is formed it either loses or gains an electron in this case since the ion is positive it means it has lose an electron, since electrons provide a negative charge. So since it goes from Na to Na+1 it has lost an electron.

The number of electrons is based off of the number of protons/ the atomic number of the element. Sodiums atomic number is 1 1 and since it lost and electron it would go down to 10.

Sodium will ____________ electrons to go from neutral to Na+1. Sodium, Na, has ____________ (number) total electrons, while the sodium ion, Na+1, has ____________ (number) total electrons.
