sodium
If the atomic number of an element is 11, then each of its atoms will have 11 protons and 11 electrons, plus a slightly variable but similar number of neutrons.
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons. Sodium has eleven electrons in each of its atoms, as long as the atoms are neutral. You can determine this by looking at the atomic numbers on the periodic table. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, given the eleven electrons, you would look for the element with the atomic number eleven, which is sodium (Na).
Sodium, Na, is the element that has eleven protons.
Actually, the element Sodium has eleven (11) electrons. You can tell by its Atomic number. (The number at the top left side of the element's box.)The Atomic number is both the element's proton and electron number.
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
Sodium is not a subatomic particle, but an element in the Periodic Table. Like it's fellow elements, a Sodium atom is composed of a central clump of baryons known as the nucleus, and a surrounding cloud of small particles called electrons. The nucleus is composed of two types of baryons, protons and neutrons. In all isotopes of Sodium, there are eleven protons in the nucleus. There is only one stable isotope of Sodium, Na23 in which there are twelve neutrons. Eleven protons and twelve neutrons totals 23 baryons.
As the elemental metal sodium has 11 (eleven) electrons; the same number as the protons, and the atomic no.(Z). However, sodium will readily lose one(1) electron to form the sodium cation (Na^(+)) . When it is the sodium cation it has 11 protons, but only 10 electrons.
eleven
Eleven.
eleven
It has only 1 valence electron
Yes. Every element has a different number of protons.
