For sure the sodium atomic nucleus contains 11 protons. The natural isotope of sodium(23) also contains 12 neutrons, but other isotopes are possible with less or more of them in the nucleus. Still 11 protons, always!

If you break salt sodium chloride down into its simplest form would it contain any protein?

no. salt is an ionic compound. there are no proteins inside of it. Table salt is sodium chloride. Each molecule is made of one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine and has nothing to do with proteins.


An element has a atomic number of 11 and an atomic weight of 23 how many neutrons does each atom contain?

An element with an atomic number of 11 has 11 protons in its nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight (23 - 11 = 12), so each atom contains 12 neutrons.


What is in the middle of each atom?

Protons and neutrons. They are located in the nucleus (the middle of the atom).


What is the chemical composition of table salt?

Salt is an ionic compound formed by the action of an acid on a substance. Equal numbers of sodium and chlorine atoms combine to form salt. Each sodium atom loses an electron, becoming positively charge, and each chlorine atom gains an electron, becoming negatively charged. The equation for salt is: NaCl
