Hello @Michiganboy21 !
How many protons and electrons do u think are there in a Na atom ?
well 11 protons and electrons i think
Great !
Now what do u think is the charge on one electron and one proton ?
-1 and +1
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.
What do u think should be the net charge then ?
+1
Excellent ! This is the answer you were seeking for :)
ok thanks

You probably didn't notice, but you posted your \(\large\sf\color{blue}{\underline{\href{ /study#/groups/mathematics}{Chemistry }}}\) question in the Biology section. Next time when you ask a question, check if you're in the right section :)
