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)

When typical atoms outer orbital is filled it will have how many electrons?

When a typical atom's outer orbital is filled, it will have 8 electrons, except for helium which will have 2 electrons. This is because the outer orbital, known as the valence shell, can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

How many electrons does a sodium ion have in its outer orbital as a sodium atom?

The outer orbital, or valence shell, around the nucleus of an atom possess what are commonly called valence shell electrons. They represent the electrons available to share with another atom for the formation of covalent bonds between atoms. For Na, or sodium, in its standard atomic state there is only 1 valence shell electron. This number increases as you go to the right across the periodic table until the number of valence shell electrons reaches 8. This is noted by the Column number (i.e. I, II, III, etc.). Carbon has four, Nitrogen has five, Oxygen has 6, and Fluorine has 7. Xenon, Argon and the other 8th column elements are called the noble gases and they all have 8 valence electrons.
