How are the eleven electrons of the sodium atom arranged?

Answer 1

The atomic number of any element is always the same. its always equal to the number of protons. the neutrons have no effect on the atomic number, just the Atomic Mass

So the atomic number of Sodium(Na) is 11, and will always be 11

Answer 2

There are 11 protons and 11 electrons in an atom of sodium.

There are also 12 neutrons(if stable) in the nucleus combined with the protons with electrons circling the neutron.

Answer 3

Correct, since sodium, Na, has 11 protons each with a +1 charge, it takes 11 electrons each with a -1 charge to form a neutral atom.

Answer 4

A sodium atom has 11 electrons. But this can change when it becomes charged, to become +1 as it looses one electron to become stable

Answer 5

Their are 3 orbitals in a sodium atom, the first orbital has 2 electrons, the seconds orbital has 8 electrons, and the last orbital has 1 electron.and this is correct because 2+8+1=11.

Answer 6

well, in the first shell there are only 2 electrons and then in the second shell there are 8 and then in the third shell there is 1 electron.

Answer 7

All atoms of sodium have 11 protons. Most atoms of sodium have either 12 or 11 neutrons. It is impossible to have an atom of sodium whose atomic mass is 11.

Answer 8

He is wrong the answer is 10 electrons
