It depends on which isotope you are talking about. The stable form of sodium is 23Na, which has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Isotopes of sodium range from 18Na, with 7 neutrons, to 37Na, with 26 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.

If the atomic mass of an atom is 38 and the atom contains 15 protons how many neutrons does the atom contain?

Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons


How many neutrons are in an atom of sodium with mass number 23?

An atom of sodium with mass number 23 has 12 neutrons. This can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (which is 11 for sodium) from the mass number (which is 23).


How many protons and neutrons are in an atom of 50V?

An atom of Vanadium (V) has 23 protons since it is the 23rd element on the periodic table. To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number (23) from the atomic mass of Vanadium, which is approximately 50.94. This gives you approximately 28 neutrons in an atom of Vanadium-50 (50V).


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.


Why does an atom of sodium have more mass than an atom of neon?

Sodium is atomic number 11, while neon is atomic number 10. We would already expect sodium to be heavier, but the most common stable isotope of sodium has 12 neutrons, and the most common stable isotope of neon has only 10. Since the atomic weight can be approximated by the sum of neutrons and protons (and the number of protons is the atomic number), we can guess that sodium's atomic mass is 23 and neon's is 20.


How many nuetrons in a sodium atom?

there are 11.99 neutrons in an atom of sodium


If a sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons what is its mass number?

The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. In this case, the mass number of the sodium atom with 11 protons and 12 neutrons would be 23.


An atom with 11 protons 12 neutrons and 10 electrons is a?

This atom is sodium with an atomic number of 11 (number of protons) and an atomic mass of 23 (sum of protons and neutrons). It has one more electron than protons, giving it a net charge of +1.
