The median Social Security benefit was $16,295 for men and $11,999 for women in 2012, AARP found. Retirement savings. Just under a third (30 percent) of retirees receive income from either a traditional pension or take withdrawals from a retirement savings account such as a 401(k) or individual retirement account.
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.
Sodium Chloride, NaCl. The classic case of ionic bonding, the sodium chloride molecule forms by the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting ions. An atom of sodium has one 3s electron outside a closed shell, and it takes only 5.14 electron volts of energy to remove that electron. The chlorine lacks one electron to fill a shell, and releases 3.62 eV when it acquires that electron (it's electron affinity is 3.62 eV).
