Question

Show diagramitically the electron distribution in an sodium atom and a sodium ion and also give their atomic no

Answer 1

Atomic number of sodium (Z) =11 Mass number of sodium (A) = 23

Number of protons in the nucleus = 11 Number of neutrons in the nucleus =23-11 = 12

Number of electrons = 11

Electronic configuration of Na-atom = 2, 8, 1(K,L,M)

Na+ ion is formed from s,odium atom by loss of an electron (present in the outermost shell). Hence, its

electronic configuration is 2, 8(K,L). However, number of protons and neutrons remains the same.
