Sodium ion is Na+.
That means it has lost 1 of its electron from the valence shell to make it more stable.The number of protons of an atom or its ion will always be the same because if the number of proton changes the atom will also change.
number of protons in Na+ is 11
number of electrons in Na+ is 10 (since it lost its 1 electron to be happy and stable)
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
11 electrons in a neutrally charged atom of sodium . It is the same number as the number of protons and the Atomic Number. However, the sodium ion (NOT Atom) has lost one electron , so there are now 11 protons(+), and 10 electrons(-). Hence 11(+)10(-)= 1(+) Hence the sodium ion is written as 'Na(+)'.
The cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.

The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
If the sodium atom is neutral (not an ion), it will have the same number of protons (11) as electrons. Therefore, a sodium atom with an atomic number of 11 will have 11 electrons when it is not an ion.
If you dont know this answer , well i dont either :0
A sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons has a net charge of +1 because the number of protons (positive charge) is greater than the number of electrons (negative charge) by 1.
None. The electrons are not in the nucleus for any atoms. They swirl around the nucleus in space but do not enter the nucleus. If electrons are squeezed into nuclei of atoms through gravity in supermassive star collapses, they fuse with protons and become neutrons. Sodium has 11 protons and usually 12 neutrons in their nuclei but no electrons.
