Question

explain how sodium atom is monovalent​

Answer 1

Answer:

sodium atom is monovalent because it have tendency to loss only one electron in outermost its orbits

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sodium is a metal with atomic number 11. electronic configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ Number of valence electrons : 1.

In order to get stability by acquiring octet configuration sodium prefers to loose 1 electron.

Hence Sodium valency is Monovalent.
