A Sodium atom has three shells.
For future reference, this can be discovered later by looking at which period an element falls in.
For example, all group 1 elements have 1 shell, all group 2 elements have two shells, and so on.
Each sodium will transfer 1 electron. So, for NaCl, one electron is transferred. In Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate), 2 electrons will be transferred (1 electron from each sodium).
Every sodium atom has only one valence electron.
they have 28 electrons and 14 electron shell. could you answer this what song is this from Gangnam Style Never do SEX! It is WRONG!
The electron configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1. It has three principal energy levels. It has only one valence electron.
In sodium sulfide (Na₂S), two sodium (Na) atoms each lose one electron, resulting in a total loss of two electrons. Sulfur (S) gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Thus, in Na₂S, there are two electrons lost by sodium and two electrons gained by sulfur.
Sodium has one valence electron.
Each sodium will transfer 1 electron. So, for NaCl, one electron is transferred. In Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate), 2 electrons will be transferred (1 electron from each sodium).
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.
A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.
Sodium has one valence electron because it is in group 1 of the periodic table.
1 electron which makes it belongs to group 1
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
One atom of sodium has one electron in its outermost orbital.
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
It has only 1 valence electron
Sodium lose one electron, aluminium lose three electrons.Chlorine accept one electron, oxygen accept two electrons.
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.
