Sodium is located in Group IA of the Periodic Table mostly because of its electron configuration. All elements in this group have one electron in the outer orbital of its atom (the s-orbital). This link gives information on each element of the periodic table: http://chemistry.about.com/library/blper5.htm To the left is another interesting link about the development of the periodic table (historically), why it looks the way it does, and how position of an element in the table is determined.

∙ 12y agoNa stands for natrium, which is the Latin word for sodium. On the periodic table, the chemical symbol is the first letter or letters of the element in latin.

∙ 12y agoYou should try looking at a periodic table first. Sodium will appear with the symbol Na and it is in the 3rd row of the 1st group (the alkali metals) Atomic number 11
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoSodium (symbol: Na) has 11 protons in its nucleus, that's why it has 'atomic number' 11 in the periodic table.

Is sodium fluoride on the periodic table of elements?
Sodium is and Fluorine is but Sodium Fluoride is a compound and therefore doesn't belong on a table of elements.
Which other elements contain the same number of atomic shells as sodium?
All of the others in the same row of the Periodic Table as sodium.
What is the answer for the formula NaCl in the periodic table of elements?
Table Salt. NaCl is the chemical formula for Sodium chloride. It is not on the periodic table because it isn't a chemical element. Sodium chloride is a chemical compound formed when the elements Sodium and Chlorine react with each other.
Sodium is a member of the transition elements?
No, sodium is not a transition state element. Take a look at your periodic table of the elements.
What elements has three energy levels?
On a periodic table, Sodium onwards (Na)
Sodium chloride is what on the periodic table?
As it is a periodic table of elements and sodium chloride is a compound consisting of sodium, chlorine and oxygen, sodium chloride does not appear on the periodic table.
Is sodium bicarbonate in the periodic table?
no. sodium bicarbonate is a compound. periodic table contains only elements, not compounds
Is sodium fluoride on the periodic table of elements?
Sodium is and Fluorine is but Sodium Fluoride is a compound and therefore doesn't belong on a table of elements.
What group is sodium hydroxide in the periodic table?
Sodium hydroxide is a compound. Only elements are found in the periodic table, not compounds.
Which element does NaCl correspond with on the periodic table?
NaCl (Sodium chloride) is not on the periodic table because it isn't a chemical element. Sodium chloride is a chemical compound formed when the elements Sodium and Chlorine react with each other.
What is nal on the periodic table?
NaI is the compound named sodium iodide made of the elements sodium (Na) and iodine (I). You will find the elements themselves on the periodic table, not the compounds they make.
What does CCI mean in the periodic table of elements?
Ci means chlorine in the periodic table
In the periodic table of elements what does na stand for?
NA is the symbol for sodium.
What atomic number does sodium have on the periodic table?
The atomic number that sodium has in periodic table is 11 and valency is 1. The periodic table is a kind of table that was invented for the better study of elements and other types of compound. It makes the systematic study of elements.
What does NaCI mean in the periodic table?
The periodic table consists of elements; NaCl (sodium chloride, or table salt) is a compound.
What does Periods on the periodic table represent elements?
"Na" is Sodium.
In the periodic table what is NaF?
NaF is not on the periodic table as it is not an element. It is the compound sodium fluoride. It is made up of two different elements: sodium and fluorine.
