In the ground state, a sodium atom has 1 electron in the 3rd energy level, in the 3s orbital.
See the link below to see/print a Periodic Table that gives electron configurations for the elements.
"Ne3s23p3" is the electron configuration notation for sodium (Na). It represents the distribution of electrons in the various energy levels and orbitals within the atom.
Sodium (11Na) has 2 electrons in the first (1st), 8 electrons in the second (2nd) and one in the (3rd) level.
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)
A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.
An electrically neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. These electrons occupy different energy levels or shells around the nucleus. Sodium has 3 electron shells or levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level up to 1 electron.
"Ne3s23p3" is the electron configuration notation for sodium (Na). It represents the distribution of electrons in the various energy levels and orbitals within the atom.
Sodium atoms do have electrons that are arranged in energy levels. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s22s22p63s1.
Sodium (11Na) has 2 electrons in the first (1st), 8 electrons in the second (2nd) and one in the (3rd) level.
The element that has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium is magnesium. Both sodium and magnesium have three electron orbitals, which can hold a maximum of 2, 8, and 8 electrons respectively. This is because they are both in the third period of the periodic table. Sodium has 11 electrons and magnesium has 12 electrons.
The atomic no. of Sodium (Na) is 11. It has three electron orbits (or Shells) containing 2, 8 and 1 electron respectively. K shell - 2 electrons L shell - 8 electrons M shell - 1 electron
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)

Sodium has 3 electron shells or levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level up to 1 electron.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons. The electrons are distributed into energy levels based on the principle that each energy level can hold a maximum number of electrons given by 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number. So, in a sodium atom, the electron configuration would be 2-8-1, with 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 1 electron in the third energy level.
Both are at the 3rd energy level and both contains the 3s1 orbitals.
The amount of energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of sodium atoms is known as the ionization energy. In the case of sodium, the first ionization energy is approximately 495.8 kJ/mol. This energy is needed to remove one electron from a sodium atom to form a sodium cation.
The first case with infrared light did not produce any electrons because the energy of infrared light is too low to overcome the binding energy of sodium electrons. However, in the second case with ultraviolet light, the energy was high enough to overcome the binding energy of the electrons and eject them from the sodium atoms, resulting in the emission of thousands of electrons.
