The net charge of an atom is determined by the number of protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge. If there are 11 protons, the atom has a positive charge of +11. If there are no electrons mentioned, we can assume it has 11 electrons to remain neutral, resulting in a net charge of 0. However, if there are no electrons, the net charge would be +11.
A particle with 11 protons and 10 electrons would be an ion with a charge of +1. This means it has one more proton than electron, giving it an overall positive charge.
Sodium does.
Atoms contain a number of protons, each with a single positive charge, and the same number of electrons with unit negative charge. Overall, the charges cancel out so that the atom, as a whole, is neutral.
Just remember the atomic number is the amount of protons and electrons there is 11 in sodium, and 12 neutrons in sodium. To find neutrons you round the atomic mass if needed then subtract it from the number. So sodium's mass is 22.9 so you round it to 23 subtracted by the atomic number, which is 11 giving you 12. Hope that helps
Sodium has 12 neutrons; all neutrons are neutral particles.
there are 11 neutrons.
+1 This is because there are 11 positive protons but only 10 negative elecrons, so the net charge is 1 positive charge (if each proton balances out each electron). The number of neutrons is irrelevant as neutrons have no charge.

Sodium does.
This atom is sodium with an atomic number of 11 (number of protons) and an atomic mass of 23 (sum of protons and neutrons). It has one more electron than protons, giving it a net charge of +1.
The charge of a sodium ion with 11 protons is +1, since it has one more proton than electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge of an ion.
The atom's electrical charge is +4. It has 15 protons and 11 electrons, so the overall charge is positive (15 - 11 = 4) because there are more protons than electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so having fewer electrons than protons results in a net positive charge.

(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
5 Protons, 6 Neutrons. For future reference, the protons is the atomic number (right above the element symbol) To get the neutrons you subtract the atomic mass (underneath the symbol) by the number of protons. You have to round this number.
