The atomic number of sodium is $11 .$ So, neutral sodium atom has $11$ electrons and its electronic configuration is $2$, $8$, $1$ . But $Na ^{+}$ has $10$ electrons. Out of $10$, $K-$ shell contains $2$ and $L-$ shell $8$ electrons respectively. Thus, $Na ^{+}$ has completely filled $K$ and $L$ shells.
