The number of protons in an atom determines what that atom is called. Therefore, sodium, or Na, always has 11 protons. The particular isotope of sodium that has 12 neutrons is called 23Na, and is the only stable isotope of sodium.
Sodium. There is only one atom with 11 protons because that's what makes an atom unique.
This is the isotope sodium-23.
Electrons~ 11 Neutrons~11 12Protons~11Youre welcome(;___________________________ (Improved answer) No, It has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons.
Sodium is element nr. 11, which means 11 protons, so 25 - 11 = 14. Note that there is no actual Sodium isotope with mass 25.
If it has 11 electrons it must have 11 protons to balance the charge. So the element is Na. But you know it's going to be an isotope of Na since the number of protons and number of neutrons are different. To find out which isotope you have, you must get the mass number which is just the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (remember, they are the only ones that have mass) 11+12= 23 So you have Na-23
An element with 11 protons will have atomic number 11, or sodium. If the element has 11 neutrons, then it has an atomic mass of 11+11 = 22. Therefore, the isotope Sodium-22 has 11 protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Sodium atoms always have 11 protons. Since the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, one can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from this number. Thus, sodium 25 has 14 neutrons.
Answer: 28 protons 28 electrons; the number of neutrons depends on each isotope of Na and Cl considered.
Sodium has 11 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a sodium isotope = Mass number - 11
The mass of the isotope 7Be is 7,01692983(11) u. The isotope 7Be has 4 protons, 3 neutrons and 4 electrons (not 6).
11 protons and 12 neutrons for Na-23, the (only) naturally occurring isotope. 11 protons and 11 neutrons for Na-22, artificial isotope, 2.6 yr. halflife time 11 protons and 13 neutrons for Na-24, artificial isotope, 14.8 hr. halflife time
The atomic number is 8. It is a non-existent isotope of oxygen.
The isotope 25Na has 11 protons and electrons and 14 neutrons.
This is not an atom. This is an ion. This is Na+ ion.
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.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. Thus, neutral sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons per atom. 23Na is sodium's only stable isotope, having 23 - 11 = 12 neutrons.
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
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! :)
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
