Question

question 1 (1 point) if a compound were to form between na and n a) na would form a 1 - charged ion b) n would form a 3 - charged ion c) no ions will form d) we cannot tell from the information provided

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) is a Group - 1 element and loses 1 electron to form a 1+ charged ion. Nitrogen (N) is a Group - 15 element and gains 3 electrons to form a 3 - charged ion (N³⁻) when it reacts with a metal like Na to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Answer:

B. N would form a 3 - charged ion
