Question

distribution of electrons in carbon and sodium atoms .​

Answer 1

What Is The Distribution Of Electrons In Carbon And Sodium Atom

$\huge\fcolorbox{cyan}{pink}{Answer}$

The total number of electrons in a carbon atom is 6. The distribution of electrons in carbon atom is given by: First orbit or K-shell = 2 electrons

Second orbit or L-shell = 4 electrons

Or, we can write the distribution of electrons in a carbon atom as 2, 4.

The total number of electrons in a sodium atom is 11.

The distribution of electrons in sodium atom is given by:

First orbit or K-shell = 2 electrons

Second orbit or L-shell = 8 electrons

Third orbit or M-shell = 1 electron

Or, we can write distribution of electrons in a sodium atom as 2, 8, 1.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Carbon (6)

1s²2s²2p² (as per subshell)

or

2,4 (as per shell)

Sodium (11)

1s²2s²2p6 3s¹ (as per subshell)

or

2,8,1 (as per shell)
