Question

Question 1
Write the distribution of electrons in carbon and sodium atom?

Answer 1

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
Distribution of electrons in a carbon atom can also be written as 2, 4.

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
Distribution of electrons in a sodium atom can also be written as 2, 8, 1.
