yes
Sodium does not have a full outer valence shell. It has one electron in its outermost shell, which makes it very reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve stability.
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.
The valence shell of sodium has one electron.
the valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom that has free electrons for taking part in chemical reactions... the valence shell of sodium has one free electron
there is only one electron in the outermost shell of Na.
Sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, or energy level. This is because sodium's atomic number is 11, meaning it has 11 electrons in total, with the electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹. The outermost shell, which is the third shell in this case, contains this single electron.
The valence electron configuration of a sodium atom is 3s1, meaning it has one electron in the 3s orbital in the outermost shell. Sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, making it highly reactive.
There's only one. Because of this it is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron so that it can have a full electron shell like that of neon. Sodium's first shell has two electrons, and it's second shell has 8 electrons.
For group 1 elements : lithium , sodium, potassium...etc All of them have one valence electrons , however Rubidium(Rb) have two valence electrons. Therefore, Cesium have one valence electrons. :D
No, the valence shell of sodium (Na) is not full. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, which means it has 11 electrons, with 1 electron in its outermost shell (the third shell). This single valence electron makes sodium highly reactive, as it tends to lose that electron to achieve a full outer shell, resembling the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, neon.
no protons, one electron as it is in group I of the periodic table
Sodium has one electron in its outermost principal energy level, also known as the valence shell.
