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!

What does each type of atom in a molecule have?
a nucleus
How does the arrangement of electrons change when sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride?
each sodium atom loses an electron and each chlorine atom gains an electron OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost-Reduction Is Gain)
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
The Atomic number of an atom is?
No. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Each element has a unique atomic number that identifies it as that element.
When sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride what will each sodium atom do?
what does sodium metal and choline gas react to form
What is the charge of a sodium nucleus?
Sodium has 12 neutrons; all neutrons are neutral particles.
Does sodium chloride contain molecules?
Sodium Chloride is a molecule. A molecule contains 2 or more atoms. Each molecule of Sodium Chloride contains 1 sodium atom and 1 chloride atom.
How many atoms of each element are present in NaCI?
Sodium chloride is a lattice. There are only two elements.
What tells how many of each type of atom are found in an actual molecule of that substance?
This is the subscripted number of each atom in the chemical formula.Example: sodium carbonate - Na2CO3.The molecule contain 2 sodium atoms, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms.
An element has a atomic number of 11 and an atomic weight of 23 how many neutrons does each atom contain?
The answer cannot be determined with atomic weight. You are asking for the number of neutrons in a particular isotope of sodium. You need mass number for the isotope you are interested in, which is probably 23.Assuming you mean atomic number of 11 and a mass numberof 23, there would be 12 neutrons in each atom of this isotope.
How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
What does each type of atom in a molecule have?
a nucleus
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.
What is the mass number of an atom of chlorine that has 16 neutrons in its nucleus?
All chlorine atoms contain 17 protons in each nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, the atom described in the question has a mass number of 35.
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
What is in the middle of each atom?
Protons and neutrons. They are located in the nucleus (the middle of the atom).
Particle found in nucleus?
The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
