None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.


How many outer rings electrons does sodium and chlorine have?

Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


How many electrons are in a neutral sodium's outer energy level?

A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.


How many Chlorine are in the outer shell of a sodium atom?

One chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell. Therefore, sodium can donate its electron to chlorine, forming a stable compound where chlorine has a full outer shell with 8 electrons.


How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?

Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.


How many electrons does Sodium need to fill it's outer energy level?

It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital


How many elements contain the same number of outer electrons as sodium?

Elements in the same group as sodium (Group 1) all contain the same number of outer electrons, which is one. Therefore, there are six elements in the same group as sodium: lithium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium, and hydrogen.


How many outer ring electrons does a sodium atom have?

Sodium has one electron in its outer ring.


How many electrons will the sodium atom need to lose to get a full outer shell?

Just one.


How many outer orbital electrons are found in Sodium?

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)


How many valence electrons are needed to fill sodiums outer shell?

Sodium has ONE valence electron in its outer shell that is to be donated to any kind of oxidant. By then the outer (3rd) shell (of the Na+ ion) is EMPTY, so the 2nd shell has become the outmost, containing 8 electrons (Ne-configuration). No electrons at all are taken up by sodium.
