Want this question answered?
Third period has 8 elements. They have 3 electron shells.
A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
Sodium has 3 energy levels, 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, sodium's atomic number is always 11, even if it loses 1 electron. However, when a sodium atom loses 1 electron, it will form an ion with a 1+ charge.
the number of protons is the atomic number, which for sodium is 11. The number of electrons in neutral sodium atom is 11 and these are in the following shells:- 1st valence = 2 electron 2nd valence = 8 electrons 3th valence = 1 electrons
The correct number of electron clouds or shells sodium has is 3.
Sodium, i believe has 3 shells.
Sodium has 3 energy levels, 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s.
Yes. Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. Sodium is an Alkali Metal in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. Sodium has the atomic number 11, has 3 electron shells with 1 electron in the outer shell.
1 valence electrons 2 full outer shells (electron levels) 3 outer shells (electron levels)
the sodium atom has 3 shells where 2 electrons are in the first shell, 8 in the second and 1 in the third shell; which isn't stable..... and its symbol is Na :)
The normal electron arrangement of sodium(Na) in K, L and M shells is 2, 8, 1 and the electronic configuration of the metal in its sub-shells is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1.

i dont think so
