The electronic configuration of sodium includes electrons distributed in the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals as shown in the image.
How to draw p and s orbital for Sodium?
The electronic configuration of sodium is given as;
Na = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
This means that sodium has electrons in the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.
The electron distribution in the p and s orbitals for sodium is;
1s orbital: This orbital is represented with two arrows for 1s².
2s orbital: This orbital is represented with two arrows in opposite direction for 2s².
2p orbitals: This orbital is represented with three separate blocks each with two arrows for 2p⁶.
3s orbital : This orbital will contain one arrow.
