An atom has three full orbitals in its second energy level.
how many electrons are present in the second energy level of the atom?
9
12
6
3

6

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sub-levels are given as:

   for s-sublevel we have two electrons and one orbital

        p-sublevel we have six electrons and three orbitals

        d-sublevel we have ten electrons and five orbitals

       f- sublevel we have fourteen electrons and seven orbitals

The second energy level is represented by the p-sub-level and it will accommodate 6 electrons.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
