Answer:
Sodium cation loses one electron, so Na+: 1s(2)2s2(2)p(6)3s(1) = Na+: 1s(2)2s(2)2p(6). P: 1s(2)2s(2)2p(6)3s(2)3p(3)
2, 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Sodium Na has 11 electrons.
The electronic configuration of sodium is 2, 8, 1
Sodium loses 1 electron, the new atom has 10 electrons.
11 - 1 = 10
