Sodium in all its compounds forms the Na+ ion.
Its electron configuration is the same as of noble gas Ne:
(Na+) = (1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s0)
Na2+ would have the following electron configuration: 1s2, 2s2 2p5
This is not a noble gas configuration and requires a lot of energy to remove the 2nd electron out off the 2px orbital just after the 1st removal from its 3s orbital. It only is observed for example as a transient species when sodium vapour is irradiated with strong laser light.

∙ 13y agoSodium's atomic number is 11. Therefore, were it electrically neutral, sodium would have 11 protons and 11 electrons. However, Na+ has one less electron. So, filling in the first 10 electron orbitals gives an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

How is the electron configuration for both a cation and a anion differ from its neutral atom?
Let us assume that we have Sodium (Na), it has the ground state electron configuration of: [Ne]3S1. The ANION is negative, and thereby has more electrons, the Na anion(Na.) would have the following electron configuration: [Ne]3S2. The CATION(which is a positive ion) of Na(Na+) would have [Ne] as it electron configuration(as it loses an electron and becomes "equal" to Neon)
