The most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state is 1s22s22p63s1.
The ground state electron configuration for sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
ground state
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.
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
fluoride
The ground state electron configuration for sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
ground state
The abbreviated electron configuration of sodium is [Ne]3s1.
