Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
A sodium atom has an atomic number of 11, meaning it has 11 electrons. The first orbit, or energy level, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Therefore, in a sodium atom, the first orbit contains 2 electrons.
the atomic orbit
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.

Electrons orbit the atom's nucleus in specific energy levels, also known as electron shells or orbitals. The electrons are arranged in these levels based on their energy and distance from the nucleus.
electrons orbit the protons and neutrons
A sodium atom has an atomic number of 11, meaning it has 11 electrons. The first orbit, or energy level, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Therefore, in a sodium atom, the first orbit contains 2 electrons.
In the orbit around an atom - not in the nucleus
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom.
The number of electrons per orbit in an atom is determined by the energy level of the orbit. Each orbit can hold a maximum number of electrons, with the first orbit holding up to 2 electrons, the second holding up to 8 electrons, the third holding up to 18 electrons, and so on.
the atomic orbit
Yes.
Neutrons and Protons make up the nucleus. Electrons orbit an atom.
electrons orbit an atom
No, protons do not orbit the nucleus in an atom. They are located within the nucleus along with neutrons. Electrons are the particles that orbit the nucleus in an atom.
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
