First shell has 2 electrons. Next shell has 8 electrons. The third shell has 18 but scientist say 8 so they don't confuse graphs.
No, the valence shell of sodium (Na) is not full. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, which means it has 11 electrons, with 1 electron in its outermost shell (the third shell). This single valence electron makes sodium highly reactive, as it tends to lose that electron to achieve a full outer shell, resembling the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, neon.
In the third shell of an atom, there are a total of 18 possible electron positions. This shell can hold up to 2n² electrons, where n is the principal quantum number of the shell. For the third shell (n=3), this calculation gives 2(3)² = 18 electrons. The third shell includes the s, p, and d subshells, which can accommodate these electrons.
It depends what electronic state it's found in, but in it's ground state (natural form) it has two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second and none in the third. This is because it has an atomic number of 10. 2+8 = 10.
Noble gases already has full valence shell
The element that has 7 valence electrons in its third shell is chlorine. The electronic configuration of chlorine is 2, 8, 7, with the outermost shell containing 7 electrons.
No, the valence shell of sodium (Na) is not full. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, which means it has 11 electrons, with 1 electron in its outermost shell (the third shell). This single valence electron makes sodium highly reactive, as it tends to lose that electron to achieve a full outer shell, resembling the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, neon.
Third Shell
Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
The third last shell. What a mouthful!
Calcium has a full 4s sublevel, but does not have a full "outer shell", per se, because it is not a noble gas.
It is sodium Chlorine is the first element that needs a third shell.
This element is sulfur (S), with 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, and 6 electrons in the third shell.
11 electrons makes the third energy level complete. One

Elements in the third row of the periodic table have 3 completely full electron shells. This means they have all 8 electrons in the first shell, all 8 electrons in the second shell, and all 18 electrons in the third shell.
