The simplest way to figure this out is as following: the atomic number of sodium is 11, which gives you the number of protons. The number of electrons = the number of protons. The number of neutrons is the atomic weight (22.98 in this case) rounded minus the number of protons. Therefore sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Hope this helps! :)
23Na is the stable isotope of sodium. In its neutral state it has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, hence 11 electrons. Its commonest oxidation state is +1 (meaning that it 'donates' a single electron). Hence, a sodium ion has 10 electrons.

the amount of electrons that sodium has is:11
the amount of protons:11
the amount of neutrons: 12
Sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass of the isotope - 11
Protons, electrons an neutrons
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.
Na+ sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons
Sodium contain 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.

In Sodium there are 1 amu of protons and neutrons. There are also 11 protons and 11 electrons. There are 11 neutrons in Sodium 22.

Because atoms can be isotopes or ions, protons are the only stable identifier for an element (Sodium can have more or less than normal number of electrons or neutrons and still be sodium). Sodium has 11 protons.
