Q2. Draw tatomic tructureof sodium atom & sodium ions. Explain why you draw it this way.
I draw it this way because sodium atom consists of 11 electrons, the innermost shell can only consists of 2 electrons, while the other two shells can consists up to a max of 8 electrons. However, sodium ion need to give away one electron to complete the valence shell (t
o make it stable).
