Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
Na has one valence electron i.e. 1 electron in valence(last) shell.
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 cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.

Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
The cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
Na has 11 protons and 12 neutrons and 11 electrons.
Answer: 28 protons 28 electrons; the number of neutrons depends on each isotope of Na and Cl considered.

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.
The most reactive elements have either 1 valence electron or 7 valence electrons
Na+ will be a sodium atom that has lost an electron. Normally in atoms the amount of protons and electrons are equal, when you see a plus or minus charge on an atom its due to the loss or gain of electrons.
