The answer cannot be determined with atomic weight. You are asking for the number of neutrons in a particular isotope of sodium. You need mass number for the isotope you are interested in, which is probably 23.
Assuming you mean atomic number of 11 and a mass numberof 23, there would be 12 neutrons in each atom of this isotope.

What is a similarity and a difference between isotopes of an element?
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
How much neutrons are in xenon?
Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of xenon is 54. For the list of xenon isotopes see the link below.
How can you calculate the number of neutrons N in an atom?
equal to number of protons
What element is in period 5 and is a transition element and has 51 neutrons?
The isotope of zirconim, 91Zr, has 51 neutrons. In order to solve this problem, one must know that an element's atomic weight is the average of its number of protons and neutrons (only neutrons are variable). Since the atomic number is the number of protons, the atomic number subtracted from the atomic weight gives the number of neutrons. An element in period 5 that has this many neutrons is found to be zirconium (the isotope 91Zr).

How many neutrons dose hassium have?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of hassium is 108; each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass.
What equation is used to calculate neutrons for an element?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
How do you calculate neutrons for elements in the periodic table?
them mass number of an element is the total amount of nuetrons and protons in the element , and the atomic number is the amount of protons ( and electrons) in the element simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number and you'll have the number of neutrons in the element hope this helped x
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
What is the number of neutrons for a specific element equal to?
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
How many protons and neutrons in meitnerium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of meitnerium is 109. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons. Meitnerium has 109 protons.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
How is the number of neutrons in an atom found?
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.
How many protrons and neutrons does boron contain?
5 Protons, 6 Neutrons. For future reference, the protons is the atomic number (right above the element symbol) To get the neutrons you subtract the atomic mass (underneath the symbol) by the number of protons. You have to round this number.
How man neutrons dose uranium have?
Each isotope of an element has a specific number of neutrons (number of neutrons = atomic weight - atomic number).
When will atomic weight and mass number of an element be same?
Only when the nuclei of the element contain no neutrons. This occurs naturally only for hydrogen-1.
