2022: ☢️ Valence Electrons in Sodium (Na) [& Facts, Color, Discovery ...

A valence electron is an outer shell electron and may participate in the formation of a chemical bond. Ok but how many valence electrons does an atom of Sodium have?

In the case of Sodium the valence electrons is 1. Now let's check the facts about Sodium...

Sodium Overview

Sodium Valence Electrons

1

Atomic Number

11

Learn more about the atomic number.

Atomic Mass

22,989768

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Atomic Symbol

Na

State at 20 °C

solid

Description

Soft silvery-white metal. Sixth most abundant element in the earth's crust. Burns in air with a brilliant white flame.

Uses

There are few uses for the pure metal, however its compounds are used in medicine, agriculture and photography. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Liquid sodium is sometimes used to cool nuclear reactors.

Name Origin

Medieval Latin: sodanum, (headache remedy); symbol from Latin natrium, (sodium carbonate).

Sources

Obtained by electrolysis of melted sodium chloride (salt), borax and cryolite.

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1807
Location: England

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Valence Electrons in Sodium (Na) [& Facts, Color, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
