Hello @Michiganboy21 !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

How many protons and electrons do u think are there in a Na atom ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 11 protons and electrons i think

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Great !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now what do u think is the charge on one electron and one proton ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 and +1

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Good going ! So we know that a neutral Na atom has zero charge on it because it has equal numbers of protons and electrons (Net charge=+11+(-11)=0). Now if we remove one electron then there will be 11 protons and only 10 electrons.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What do u think should be the net charge then ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+1

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Excellent ! This is the answer you were seeking for :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
