Question

consider the model of a sodium atom.
which feature does the model show accurately?
○ the size of the electrons in different shells
○ the shapes of the orbitals in different shells
○ the distribution of electrons in different shells
○ the orientation of the orbitals in different shells

Explanation:

shell distribution of a sodium atom (2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 1 in the third). It does not depict electron size, orbital shapes, or orbital orientation, as those require more advanced quantum models.
