Question
Refer to Figure 9.20 and answer the question. List at least two other ions that would behave like the $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ion.
Step 1
The sodium ion ($\mathrm{Na}^{+}$) is a monovalent cation, meaning it has a +1 charge. It is also a small ion that typically behaves similarly to other alkali metal ions. Show more…

Give the formula of a negative ion that would have the same number of electrons as each of the following positive ions. a. $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ b. $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ $\mathbf{c} . \mathrm{Al}^{3+}$ d. $\mathbf{R} \mathbf{b}^{+}$
Suppose you were trying to find a substitute for $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ some application. Where would you begin your search? What ions are most like Na'? For each ion you propose, explain the which it is similar to $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and the ways it is different. Use periodic trends in your discussion.
