How many outer orbital electrons are found in Sodium?
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)
What is 1s2 2s2 2p6?
Those numbers denote electron orbitals, if my chemistry isn't too rusty that is Na (Sodium).
How many electrons does sodium have in 2cd energy level?
Sodium (11Na) has 2 electrons in the first (1st), 8 electrons in the second (2nd) and one in the (3rd) level.
What is the neutral atom that has its first two energy levels filled has 1 electrons in its third energy level and has no other electrons?
Sodium
What is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost closed shell?
As a neutral atom, sodium possesses 1 electron in its outermost (3rd) energy level. As a 1+ ion, it possesses 8 electrons in its second energy level, forming an octet, which is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost energy shell.
Why does sodium have electrons that are not arranged in its energy levels?
Sodium atoms do have electrons that are arranged in energy levels. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s22s22p63s1.

What atomic structures do sodium and argon share?
Both are at the 3rd energy level and both contains the 3s1 orbitals.
What is the neutral atom that has its first two energy levels filled has 1 electrons in its third energy level and has no other electrons?
Sodium

How many electrons are in a neutral sodium's outer energy level?
One electron in 3s orbital of sodium
Sodium has how many electrons in its outermost principal energy level?
11
How many energy levels are in an electrically neutral sodium atom?
the element sodium has 1,000,000 million energy levels.
Would you expect sodium sulphate or copper sulphate to be colourless?
Copper is a transition metal- these often give rise to colored salts. Sodium is an s block metal these are generally colorless. The reason is that transition metals ions have electrons in an outer d orbitals that can be excited to higher energy levels by visible light.
How many electrons are in the second level of sodium?
There are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second, and 1 in the third.
