1.

Give reasons The number of electrons of an ion differs from that of its atom.

a)

Because the number of electrons in ion is less than or more than its number in the same atom by the number of lost or gained electrons.

b)

Because it arises by sharing each nitrogen atom with three electrons to complete its outermost shell with 8 electrons and becomes more stable

c)

Because sodium ion is formed when sodium atom loses one electron and changes

d)

while covalent bond arises between two similar or different nonmetal
