For a Sodium atom, the Valence electron lies in the ___shell/energy level.

Open in App

Solution

Valence electrons are the farthest electrons from the nucleus of an atom. Sodium(Na) has 11 electrons totally. The distribution or the arrangement of electrons in the shells is (2,8,1), which implies that the valence electron for Sodium atom lies in the third shell.

Q. In the module of chapter-Metals and Non Metals,you have explained the case of lithium metal,at the atomic level,that why it is so reactive (because there are 3 protons attracting the Valence electron, and 2 electrons in the k-shell repelling the valence electron, thats why the net resultant force is less) So can you please explain me the case of Sodium and calcium that why less energy is required to kick out valence electrons,like you have explained in the case of litium i.e at the Atomic level
