Question

Explain how the element sodium monovalent

Answer 1

Electronic configuration of sodium(Na)
= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Sodium has 1 electron in its outer most shell and to acquire noble gas configuration it will lose one electron and hence sodium is monovalent... hope this ll help u

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\star\red{Answer:-}$

Sodium is metal which has atomic number 11. It has 1 electron in its last shell which means it has 1 valence electron. In order to get stability by acquiring nearest noble gas configuration. ... Hence, we say that sodium has a valency of one and is thus monovalent
