All sodium atoms have 11 protons.
All atoms of sodium contain 11 protons, since 11 is the atomic number of sodium.
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.
12 neutrons are in the element sodium.
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.
All atoms of sodium contain 11 protons, since 11 is the atomic number of sodium.
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.
elecrons - 11 neutrons - 12 protons - 11
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.
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Sodium's atomic number is 11. Thus it has 11 protons, regardless of isotope.
The amount of protons something has is equal to its atomic number. Sodium has 11 protons.
11 protons and 12 neutrons for Na-23, the (only) naturally occurring isotope. 11 protons and 11 neutrons for Na-22, artificial isotope, 2.6 yr. halflife time 11 protons and 13 neutrons for Na-24, artificial isotope, 14.8 hr. halflife time
Answer: 28 protons 28 electrons; the number of neutrons depends on each isotope of Na and Cl considered.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. Thus, neutral sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons per atom. 23Na is sodium's only stable isotope, having 23 - 11 = 12 neutrons.
An atom of Sodium weighs the same as 23 protons.
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.
Promethium has 61 protons and electrons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 61
