It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital
A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.
Uranium has 2 electrons on its outer energy level.
Na, or Sodium, has 3 energy levels. Two electrons in the first level, eight in the second, and one in the third (and outer most) level.
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell, and Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
Sodium-23 has three electron levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so sodium-23 has 11 protons and 11 electrons in a neutral state.
Vanadium has 5 electrons in its outer energy level.
Iodine has 7 electrons in its outer energy level.
There are 8 electrons in the outer energy level of xenon. Xenon belongs to the noble gas group on the periodic table, which have a full outer energy level with 8 electrons.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer energy level. This means it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer energy level, for a total of 8 electrons.
yes.they have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
Boron has 3 electrons in it's outer level.
Beryllium and magnesium have two electrons in their outermost energy level, as do all Group 2 elements.
