The second orbit has 8 electrons.
Sodium has 1 electon in it's outer orbit, 8 in the second and 2 in the first.
Sodium has 8 electrons in the n=2 orbit. This is because the second energy level (n=2) can hold up to 8 electrons max. Sodium has 11 electrons in total, with 3 in the n=1 orbit and 8 in the n=2 orbit.
The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
Sodium (11Na) has 2 electrons in the first (1st), 8 electrons in the second (2nd) and one in the (3rd) level.
There are 11 electrons orbiting around Na atom, cuz its atomic number is 11.

In sodium, the second shell (or energy level) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. However, sodium only has 2 electrons in its second shell. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so it has 11 electrons in total, with 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second shell.
In a lead atom, the number of electrons in each orbit are as follows: 2 electrons in the first orbit (closest to the nucleus) 8 electrons in the second orbit 18 electrons in the third orbit 32 electrons in the fourth orbit
There are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second, and 1 in the third.
The number of electrons per orbit in an atom is determined by the energy level of the orbit. Each orbit can hold a maximum number of electrons, with the first orbit holding up to 2 electrons, the second holding up to 8 electrons, the third holding up to 18 electrons, and so on.
Magnesium has 3 electron orbits. The first orbit can hold up to 2 electrons, the second orbit can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third orbit can hold up to 8 electrons.
Sodium has 11 electrons.
