The excitation cross sections to the first collective excitations in 28,30Na have been measured with the technique of intermediate-energy heavy-ion scattering. The trends in the deduced intrinsic electromagnetic quadrupole moments obtained in the present study and in a previous study of 31Na suggest that the ground state of 31Na is dominated by intruder configurations, while the lighter sodium isotopes are not. This conclusion is supported by data on binding energies.
