Determine how many electrons are there in Na + 1
Explanation:
Based on the periodic table of elements Na has 11 electrons, since it has +1 then this means the element loses an electron. This can be clearly seen in the formula for finding the electrons given the charge.
Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = Number of Protons
Number of Electrons = Atomic Number - charge
Number of Electrons = 11 - (+1)
Number of Electrons = 11 - 1
Number of Electrons = 10
Final answer:
Na +1 has 10 electrons.
