Sodium ion

When neutral “sodium” (Na) loses one electron from its outer shell, it forms the “sodium ion” (Na+) (i.e., positively charged sodium atom). "Sodium ion" implies elemental sodium, a monovalent inorganic cation, and “an alkali metal cation”. “Sodium ion” is a monatomic, monocation derived from sodium.

Doomsday Glacier

“Doomsday Glacier” — is a nickname to “Thwaites Glacier”. The nickname refers to scientists' worries regarding Thwaites Glacier's possible role in sea level rise as a result of multiple unanticipated cracks, the disintegration of the ice shelf, or crevasses where melting occurred considerably more quickly. The sea level might rise more than 2 feet if it completely collapses.
