Sodium has 11 protons. The element with 12 protons is magnesium
Sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
elecrons - 11 neutrons - 12 protons - 11
sodium's atomic number is 11 and since protons and electrons are the same number as the atomic number, there are 11 protons and 11 electrons, to get the neutrons you take the isotope of sodium you are given, in this case 23 and subtact the number of protons, so 23-11=12. Therefore there are 12 electrons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
False - sodium and its ion has 11 protons
This would be a Sodium-12 in ionic for or Na+
If there is 11 protons then that would be Na or Sodium.
Electrons~ 11 Neutrons~11 12Protons~11Youre welcome(;___________________________ (Improved answer) No, It has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons.
Sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 so it has 11 protons. For Na-23 there are 12 neutrons (23 - 11 = 12)
The atomic number is determined by the number of Protons. So in this case it would be 11 (Sodium). The mass number is the total of protons and neutrons, so in this case 23. So this isotope of sodium would be 23Na.
A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.
Sodium contain 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
Sodium's atomic number is always 11 and is always the same as its protons.
