Expert Answer
Orbital diagram:
It consists of a box representing each orbital and a half arrow representing each electron.
For sodium, the orbital diagram can be shown as follows:
A half arrow pointing up,
, represents an electron having ms = +1/2
A half arrow pointing down,
, represents an electron having ms = -1/2
Two electrons in the same orbital are considered as paired. An unpaired electron is that electrons which is not accompanied by a partner of opposite spin.
