The element in question is Sodium

An atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 th of the mass of carbon-12 atom.

The mass of an atom is mainly due to its protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Weight of a proton is 1.6 x 10^-27 kg

Weight of a neutron is 1.6 x 10^-27kg

However weight of an electron is 9 x 10^-31kg and hence is negligible in calculation of amu

It is given that weight is 23 AMU and number of protons is 11

The protons in a nucleus also act as atomic number of the periodic table

Proton number 11 is the atomic number of Sodium

Hence the element is Sodium

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

Types of atoms. The basic unit of matter. Pure substance is what?
ivanzaharov [21]

Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are all matter. When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure" substances.

hope this helps :)
