Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help u

Explanation:

Sodium has one valence electron. Sodium forms Na+ ion by losing its valence electron and attains the stable electronic configuration of Ne with a completed octet. This requires less energy. The removal of the second electron will break this stable electronic configuration and requires high energy.

Answer 2

Na+ is low and Na+2 is high.
