How many electrons are there in Na+

  • A.1
  • B.10
  • C.11
  • D.12

Answer: B

\(\mathrm{Na^+}\) has 10 electrons.

A sodium atom has 11 electrons \((2,8,1)\); losing the single 3s electron leaves \(2,8\), the neon configuration. The nucleus still holds 11 protons, which is why the ion is much smaller than the atom.
