Where is sodium on the periodic table of elements?

Sodium is located in Group IA of the periodic table mostly because of its electron configuration. All elements in this group have one electron in the outer orbital of its atom (the s-orbital). This link gives information on each element of the periodic table: http://chemistry.about.com/library/blper5.htm To the left is another interesting link about the development of the periodic table (historically), why it looks the way it does, and how position of an element in the table is determined.


You do not know an objects velocity until you know what?

To know an object's velocity, you need to know its speed and direction. You can measure speed by calculating how long an object takes to arrive at a new position. So by knowing an object's starting position, ending position, and the time it took to get there, you can calculate its average velocity. In a more advanced calculation, you could choose starting and ending positions that are extremely close to one another and calculate "instantaneous velocity." Velocity is known as a "vector value". A vector not only has a length, but a direction. In this case, "length" is the same as "speed", and direction is its change in position.


How many neutrons does an atom of carbon-14 contain?

The position of Carbon on the periodic table tells you how many protons carbon has in its nucleus. The number after it tells you the total number of protons and neutrons. You can take the number after it and subtract its number on the periodic table and get the number of neutrons. For example: Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron. Helium 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since it is element number 2 it has two protons. Now try that with carbon.
