Sodium (Na) has 3 orbital boxes, corresponding to the s, p, and d orbitals. The s-orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, the p-orbital up to 6 electrons, and the d-orbital up to 10 electrons.
H, He, Li, Be, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, etc to Ca. After Ca all have electrons in a d orbital.
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
The 4s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The element with a half-filled 3s orbital in the ground state is Sodium (Na). Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1, which means the 3s orbital is half-filled with one electron.
Oh, dude, the outermost orbitals of sodium (Na) are the 3s and 3p orbitals, while for chlorine (Cl), it's the 3s and 3p orbitals as well. So, like, they both have those 3s and 3p orbitals hanging out on the outer shell, ready to mingle and form some ionic bonds or whatever.
An unoccupied orbital is represented by an empty box in orbital notation. It does not have any electrons present in it but is available to accept electrons if needed.

The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
Orbital Resonance - novel - has 214 pages.
It's impossible, there are only 6 electrons in the p-orbital. So do you mean1s2 2s2 2p6? That's Neon.or do you mean1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1?That's Na, or Sodium.

Orbital Notation is a way to show how many electrons are in an orbital for a given element.
A single orbital can hold up to two electrons.
