A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.
A sodium atom has 11 electrons. The electrons are distributed into energy levels based on the principle that each energy level can hold a maximum number of electrons given by 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number. So, in a sodium atom, the electron configuration would be 2-8-1, with 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 1 electron in the third energy level.
Na, or Sodium, has 3 energy levels. Two electrons in the first level, eight in the second, and one in the third (and outer most) level.
An electrically neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. These electrons occupy different energy levels or shells around the nucleus. Sodium has 3 electron shells or levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level up to 1 electron.
In the ground state, a sodium atom has 1 electron in the 3rd energy level, in the 3s orbital. See the link below to see/print a periodic table that gives electron configurations for the elements.
There are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second, and 1 in the third.

The third energy level can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
Sodium has one electron in its outermost principal energy level, also known as the valence shell.
Na, or Sodium, has 3 energy levels. Two electrons in the first level, eight in the second, and one in the third (and outer most) level.

Sodium: Na(2, 8, 1 ) so there is one electron in the highest (3rd) level
Sodium-23 has three electron levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so sodium-23 has 11 protons and 11 electrons in a neutral state.
Sodium has one electron in its highest occupied energy level.
Carbon's outermost energy level contains 4 electrons, and it needs 4 more electrons to have this energy level filled (total of 8 electrons).
