Chapter U1.24, Problem 6E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The subshell model of Na, sodium element, needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

A subshell is defined as one or more orbitals in a shell with same energy level. They have different shapes and shape of an orbital is identified by magnetic quantum number.

Answer to Problem 6E

Explanation of Solution

The atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is ${}^{11}Na–1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^1$. Above diagram shows the arrangement of electrons in the different subshells.
