What is the electron configuration of a sodium ion?
2 Answers
Explanation:
A neutral sodium (
A sodium ion
Its electron configuration is hence, filling up from bottom most energy levels first as per the normal rules of filling energy levels and orbitals, 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 6 electrons in the 2p oribital.
Hence the configuration
Hmmm,
Explanation:
If the atomic number is
Electrons are distributed according to the
So the outermost electron is removed from the electron configuration to give,
