The number of electrons is 10.
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
The outermost principal shell -or regions around the nucleus where electrons move- contains the valence electrons. The number of valance electrons can be calculated for the columns with A's above them. The number given to the column represents the number of valence electrons (written before and next to the A). For instance, Lithium (Li) and Sodium (Na) have one valence electron because they are in column one. During chemical bonding, these two elements and others in their column have the same configuration of outer electrons; thus, they tend to lose their single electron in order to gain a full outer shell. Similarly, oxygen (O) and sulfur (S) have 6 valence electrons, so they tend to gain electrons to make their full outer shell.
sodium has more protons and neutrons. electrons have practically no mass, valence electrons are just outer orbital electrons. sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Mass is 23. neon has 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 10 neutrons. Mass is just 20. The neon atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons for a mass number of 20. The sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons for a mass number of 23. The number of valence electrons has no bearing on mass number or atomic weight.
The number of elements that contain the same type of outer electrons as sodium is 11.
Sodium has one electron in its outer ring.
Sodium has 1 electon in it's outer orbit, 8 in the second and 2 in the first.
One electron in 3s orbital of sodium
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
Sodium has an Atomic Number of 11 and an Mass Number of 23.This means an atom of Sodium has 11 Protons and therefore 11 electrons.
It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number; sodium has 11 electrons. The number of protons is the same.
Just one.
1 electron which makes it belongs to group 1
It has 8 electrons. "Your Welcome"
