The Sodium atom. 1  The Na atom has an equal number of electrons and protons (11 e-and 11 p+). 2  This atom too is unstable because the outer valance shell of electrons has only one electron in it. 3  To be stable the outer shell of electrons should have eight electrons.
eg. chlorine has 17 electrons, so it order is 2,8,7 Cl has 1 less electron to make the chlorine atom stable, so it charge is Cl-. it has a negative charge. Sodium has 11 electrons, so it order is 2,8,1 Na has 1 extra electron that it wants to get rid of to make Na stable and its charge is Na+. it has positive charge. How many electrons does gallium give up when it becomes an ion?
