Question

Differnce b/w sodium atom and sodium ion

Answer 1

Hey mate

this is ur answer

Sodium atom:

Sodium atom is electrically neutral.

In sodium atom, there are 11 protons and 11 electrons, i.e., equal number of protons and electrons

A sodium atom has only one electron in its valence shell

The size of sodium atom is bigger than that a sodium ion.

The sodium atom is very reactive. It reacts with air or water readily.

Sodium ion:

Sodium ion is positively charged

In sodium ion, there are 11 protons but 10 electrons, i.e., sodium ion contains lesser number of electrons.

Sodium ion has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

The size of sodium ion is smaller than that of sodium atom.

Answer 2

Soduim atom is non stable atom of sodium. It's also bigger in size and is electrically neutral as it has equal nos. of protons and electrons.

Sodium ion is sodium atom with a positive charge in any of it's salt solution.
