Question

orbital configuration of sodium ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electron configurations have the format: 1s2 2s2 2p6 . The first number is the principal quantum number (n) and the letter represents the value of l (angular momentum quantum number; 1 = s, 2 = p, 3 = d and 4 = f) for the orbital, and the superscript number tells you how many electrons are in that orbital.

Answer 2

Answer:

In writing the electron configuration for sodium the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for sodium go in the 2s orbital. The nex six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. ... Therefore the sodium electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s1.
