The resting membrane potential is between -60 mV and -80 mV. The known concentration of K+ is 140 mM (millimolar) inside the cell and 5 mM outside of the cell and the Na+concentration is 150 mM outside of the cell and 15 mM inside the cell.ATP is used to transport ions against their concentration gradients to maintain the constant concentrations.
If Na+ ion has to diffuse then it will move DOWN ITS CONCENTRATION GRADIENT i.e. from outside to inside of the neuron.
