Question

Explain the formation of 1)Sodium ion and 2)Chloride ion from their respective atoms giving the number of proton and number of electron in each one of them. What is reason for positive charge on a sodium ion and a negative charge on a chloride ion?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A sodium ion is formed when the neutral atom loses an electron. It is clear that a sodium ion has one electron less than the electrically neutral sodium atom. In a sodium ion, the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, which gives the ion an overall positive charge of one unit.
