which atom will form an ion having 1 unit positive charge
Answers
Answer:
Sodium
An common example of an ion is Na+. Sodium has a +1 charge because sodium has eleven electrons. However, according to the octet rule, sodium would be more stable with 10 electrons (2 in its inner most shell, 8 in its outermost shell). Therefore, sodium tends to lose an electron to become more stable.

Answer:
Sodium atom can have an ion having 1 unit positive charge as it has fully filled shells but has one excess electron which can be released as it is less attracted towards the nucleus,the fully filled K,L shells acts as a shield which allows the outermost electron to move freely. Not only sodium but many elements from group 1 can form 1 unit positive charge but it depends on the attractive force offered by the nucleus.
Explanation:
The main reason of this property is that Elements of group 1 do not have a stable electronic configuration. So, to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble metal, they have to lose 1 electron to become stable.And also because they have one electron in their outermost shell which can be easily removed and this removing electron form positive ions.
The electronic configuration of an atom,which as we know is influenced by that atom's location in the periodic table, determines what type of ion that atom can form. an atom's chemical reactivity is driven by it's desire to attain a stable electronic configuration.
That's the reason because of which it's much easier for a group 1 atom to lose that electron than to, say, gain seven more, in order to complete its octet.
