Question

How would the aufbau diagram of 'Na' look

Answer 1

I assume we are looking at Na in the ground state so first write the electron configuration for Na and then draw the diagram.

Answer 2

Na: \[1s^2 2s^2 2p^4 3s^1\]

Answer 3

You need a few electrons in the 2p orbitals.

Answer 4

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Answer 5

Yeah so then translating that into an Aufbau diagram

Answer 6

Aye, haven't been hearing about such a diagram but I know the principles:
We start by drawing some of the orbitals and remember that the 2p orbitals are 3 times degenerated:

Try use the drawing and draw the electrons.
