The Na+ ion has completely filled K and L shells because it loses one electron compared to a neutral sodium atom, resulting in a total of 10 electrons. The K shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the L shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, totaling 10. These 10 electrons perfectly fill the K and L shells of the Na+ ion.
