The correct answer is option A: This is an ionization process.
The statement which best describes the following chemical reaction is this is an ionization process.
The complete chemical reaction is given below.
In this reaction, the ionization of sodium is taking place.
Na(g) → Na⁺(g) e⁻
Ionization refers to a process or chemical reaction during which cations or anions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons.
If an atom loses an electron then it forms a cation i.e. positively charges atom and when it gains electrons then anions are formed i.e. negatively charged atoms.
In the above mention case, the parent sodium atom loses one electron and forms a cation. The overall process is called the ionization process.
