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)

Answer:

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

2, 8
