Identify the atomic number of sodium (Na), which is 11. This means a neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons.
Write the electron configuration for a neutral sodium atom. The configuration is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.
Understand that a sodium ion (Na⁺) is formed when a sodium atom loses one electron.
Remove one electron from the outermost shell of the neutral sodium atom's electron configuration. The outermost electron in sodium is in the 3s orbital.
After removing one electron from the 3s orbital, the electron configuration of the sodium ion (Na⁺) becomes: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
