Given information
explain the ways in which ion would be similar to 
and the ways it would be different.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
During nerve signal transmission sodium ion has charge (). Those ions having a similar size and charge as that of sodium is used as a substitute of sodium ion. 
has very small size and 
has very large size compared to. 
has a similar size as that of sodium-ion also the ionization energy of magnesium is comparable to the sodium ion which makes it a good substitute. Helium also has a similar size as that of potassium ions. but it has high first ionization energy since it is an inert gas element.
