Do sodium and chlorine have the same number of electron energy levels?
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
Why is the 11th electron of the sodium atom located in the third energy level?
Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.
How many energy levels are in potassium?
Potassium has four(4) energy levels.
What has 12 neutrons and 1 electron in the 3rd level of the periodic table?
Sodium has 1 electron in the third energy level. 11Na23 isotope has 12 neutrons.
What do we mean by the first second third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
How do energy levels of electrons compare?
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^

What is the maximum number of electron that may occupy the third electron energy level?
8 is the maximum number in the outermost energy level!
Would an electron have to absorb or release energy to jump from the second energy level to the third level?
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus of the atom of which they are a part; this is because of the electrostatic force between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. Therefore it takes energy in order to pull an electron farther away from the nucleus and to enable it to remain at a greater distance. This is exactly the same phenomenon as raising a heavy object such as, let us say, a bowling ball, to a greater elevation. It takes energy to do it, since you have to overcome the force of gravity.
WOULD AN ELECTRON HAVE TO ABSORB OR RELEASE NEW ENERGY TO FALL FROM THE THIRD ENERGY LEVEL TO THE SECOND ENERGY LEVEL?
It would release energy. It had to absorb it in order to get from 2 to 3. Law of conservation of energy says it must now release it to fall back.
How many electrons are in the third energy level of oxygen?
There is no third energy level of oxygen, there is only two. The second energy level has 6 electrons.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of magnesium?
There are six electrons are in the second energy level of magneisum. A further two are on the first energy level and the last two are on the third energy level.
