What is the most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state?
The most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state is 1s22s22p63s1.
What is the ground state electronic orbital configuration for sodium?
The ground state electron configuration for sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Electron configuration for sodium in the excited state?
The groundstate for Sodium (11-Na) is: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3S1 If you count the ^powers you notice it'll sum to 11, when Sodium is excited the outermost electron (3S1) will be excited from the 3S shell to the next shell up which is the 3P shell. The "core" electron configuration doesn't change so the first excited state is simply: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3P1 For the next excited state the electron that is now in the 3P shell will transition to the 4S shell before the 3D shell
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
What is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration?
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
What is the most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state?
The most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state is 1s22s22p63s1.
What is the ground state electronic orbital configuration for sodium?
The ground state electron configuration for sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Electron configuration for sodium in the excited state?

When you say an electron is in its ground state what does that mean?
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
What is the abbreviated electron configuration of soduim?
The abbreviated electron configuration of sodium is [Ne]3s1.
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
neon!
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
What is the electron configuration for sodium chloride?
Electron configuration is a term applied to chemical elements not to compounds.
What is the excited state configuration of sodium?

What is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration?
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
In sodium fluoride sodium has the electron configuration of which other element?
