Question

Na+ion resembles Ne (Neon) atom. GIVE REASON
Please give proper and valid reason for the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the simplest type of chemical bonding encountered. NaCl can be written as [Na+ Cl−]; the sodium atom giving up one electron to resemble the stable neon atom, while the chlorine atom acquires an extra electron to resemble the stable argon atom.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sodium(Na) atom

No. of electrons- 11

Electronic configuration- 2,8,1

Now when sodium loses 1 electron it forms Na+ ion.

Then,

Electronic configuration Na+ ion- 2,8

Now,

Neon(Ne) atom

No. of electrons- 10

Electronic configuration- 2,8

We see that the electronic configuration of Na+ atom resembles the electronic configuration of Ne atom.
