Which of the following statements are true? Statement 1: Electronic configuration of sodium is 1s22s22p63s1. Statement 2: Electronic configuration of sodium ion is 1s22s22p6.

Correct Answer: Statement 1 and statement 2, both are true
The electronic configuration of neutral sodium atom is 1s22s22p63s1, where one electron is more than the closed p subshell so, sodium gives up the valence electron and therefore the electron configuration of sodium ion is 1s22s22p6, giving Na a positive charge and it becomes Na+.
