The electron configuration for Na+ is 1s22s22p6.
When determining the electron configuration of an ion, first write the configuration of the neutral atom. For Na, it is 1s22s22p63s1. One electron is lost to form the sodium ion. When forming a cation, the electron is removed from the energy level with the highest n value. Within the highest energy level, electrons are removed in order of p then s. The electron is lost from the 3s orbital. Remember that orbitals fill in order of increasing energy, beginning with 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and so on. In addition, the s orbitals hold a maximum of two electrons, whereas each p orbital holds two for a maximum of six electrons in the p orbitals.
