No. It has one electron which is readily lost to produce the Na+ ion.

Note - the ONLY elements with a complete outer shell are the noble gasses.

Is sodiums outer shell full?

Yes

How many valence electrons are needed to fill sodiums outer shell?

Sodium has ONE valence electron in its outer shell that is to be donated to any kind of oxidant. By then the outer (3rd) shell (of the Na+ ion) is EMPTY, so the 2nd shell has become the outmost, containing 8 electrons (Ne-configuration). No electrons at all are taken up by sodium.

Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?

No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).

Do metalloids have a complete outer shell?

Metalloids do not have a complete outer shell, as they have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. They typically have three, five, or six electrons in their outer shell, which gives them characteristics of both metal and nonmetal elements.

Is the outer shell of iodine complete?

Iodine has 7 electrons in its outer most shell. It completes its valence shell by obtaining one electron to form iodide ion.

What are Atoms with a complete or closed outer shell?

a stable compound

What are atoms with complete closed outer shell?

The noble gases

How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to complete its outer shell?

An atom of oxygen needs 2 electrons to complete its outer shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, so it will gain 2 electrons through bonding to achieve a full valence shell.

Elements with complete outer shells?

Elements with complete outer shells have a full valence shell of electrons and are stable. This configuration is typically achieved by having eight electrons in the outer shell (known as the octet rule) or two electrons for the first shell. These elements are generally inert or have low reactivity due to their stable electron configuration.

What are atoms with a complete or closed outer shell called?

Stable atoms.

How many electrons should be on the outer-ring to have a complete shell?

How many electrons are needed to complete hydrogen outer shell?
