If an element has 11 protons, its atomic number is 11.
The only stable, and only naturally-occurring isotope of gold has mass number of 197. This is the number of protons and neutrons in each nucleus. Gold's atomic number is 79. This is the number of protons found in each gold atom. This determines its place in the periodic table, and its chemical properties: it is the defining property of gold. A nucleus with a different number of neutrons and the same 79 protons would be a different isotope with a different mass number; a nucleus with a different number of protons would not be gold, but some other element.

Technically yes it does, however it may not in the future. Currently the only element with a Q in its name is Ununquadium. It is the temporary name of a radioactive chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uuq and has the atomic number 114. Recent chemistry experiments have strongly indicated that element 114 appears to behave as the first superheavy element to show noble-gas-like properties due to relativistic effects. In appearance, it is likely a metal, probably silvery white or metallic gray in color.
No, there is no element that has the symbol Q.

Answer potassium is number 19The atomic number, the number of protons in an element, is shown at the bottom left hand corner of the element, whereas the mass number is shown at the top left hand corner of the element. The mass number shows the number of protons+neutrons in the element
No chemical element begins with the letter Q.
The element Q doesn't exist.
Element Q is oxygen, with an atomic number of 8. Since the ion Q2 contains 10 electrons, it has gained 2 electrons, making it a negatively charged ion.

That depends on which isotope of sodium you are talking about. Sodium always has 11 protons. The atomic mass of sodium is about 23, meaning there are, on average, 12 neutrons, so the average neutron to proton ratio for sodium is 12:11.
Q is sulfur
