It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical, however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate. In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes
hope this helps :)
From the question you will find that:
one capsule of tamiflu is obtained from 2.6 g of star anise.
1 capsule = 2.6 g tamiflu
? capsules = 155 g tamiflu
by cross multiplication =
= 59 capsules
Answer:
Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?
Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1
Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)
Explanation:
It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.
In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.
