There's only one. Because of this it is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron so that it can have a full electron shell like that of neon. Sodium's first shell has two electrons, and it's second shell has 8 electrons.

∙ 11y agoThe electronic configuration of sodium is 2, 8, 1 and there is 1 electron in the third energy level.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThere is one electron in Sodium's (Na) valence shell. That is the electron which will react with other atoms, so it is in the highest energy level.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoA sodium atom has 11 electrons. This gives it a configuration of 2,8,1. Consequently, it has three energy levels.

What is the outer most energy level of an atom?
This is the valence shell and is involved in bonding e.g. the sharing or loss of electrons to form a molecule or giant structure. Inner shells do not take part in bonding though their shielding effect and repulsion does affect the loss and gain of electrons from this shell.
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level atom barium?
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons

What is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost closed shell?
As a neutral atom, sodium possesses 1 electron in its outermost (3rd) energy level. As a 1+ ion, it possesses 8 electrons in its second energy level, forming an octet, which is the optimum number of electrons for sodium to possess in its outermost energy shell.
