The distribution of electrons in Carbon is K-2, L-4 or 1s²2s²2p² and that of sodium is K-2, L-8, M-1 or 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

Explanation:

Carbon: Its atomic number is 6

If we see the shell-wise electronic distribution then its 6 electrons are divided as the following

Electrons in K – Shell = 2

Electrons in L – Shell = 4

And its proper electronic configuration comes out to be 1s²2s²2p²

Sodium: Its atomic number is 11

If we the shell-wise electronic distribution then its 11 electrons are divided as the following

Electrons in K – Shell = 2

Electrons in L – Shell = 8

Electrons in M – Shell = 1

And the electronic configuration comes out to be 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹
