If we're considering 23Na (atomic number 11), the stable isotope, the answer to your question would be 11 protons (atomic number) and 12 neutrons (sodium's mass is about 23, 23-11=12).
Note of other isotopes only the number of neutrons change and that change can be observed by looking at the number in superscript (the 23 in front of sodium), subtract the 11 protons and you will know the amount of neutrons in the other isotopes.
Hope this helps.

How many protons electrons and neutrons are in natural sodium?
Sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons do atoms of the same element have?
Atoms of the same element usually have the same number of protons but differ slightly in the number of neutrons. The number of neutrons are usually about the number of protons so it can be estimated as so. For example, there are two relatively common isotopes of sodium: sodium 22 and sodium 23, where the number is the total number of protons and neutrons. Sodium 22 has 11 neutrons and sodium 23 has 12 neutrons but the sodium atom has 11 protons. For further information, look up isotopes.

How many particles are in the atom of Sodium?
A neutral sodium atom consists of 11 protons, 11 electrons, and usually 12 neutrons.
If a particular isotope of sodium has a mass of 23 how many neutrons does it have?
An atom of Sodium weighs the same as 23 protons.
How many neutrons and protons does neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have?
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
Do protons have electrons?
Not necessarily, the number of protons in an atom are exactly the same as the electrons in an atom. For example, sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. How many electrons does it have? 11.
How many numbers of protons does soduim have?
The sodium atom has 11 protons 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
How does an atom of sodium has a larger mass than a atom of neon. how is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?
sodium has more protons and neutrons. electrons have practically no mass, valence electrons are just outer orbital electrons. sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Mass is 23. neon has 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 10 neutrons. Mass is just 20. The neon atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons for a mass number of 20. The sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons for a mass number of 23. The number of valence electrons has no bearing on mass number or atomic weight.
How many neutrons and protons does a neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have?
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
