4 0

Answer:

22.98 is the most likely atomic weight of sodium

Explanation:

Sodium is a mono-isotopic element and its atomic weight is determined solely by its isotope23_{Na}.Usually Atomic masses are not integers since they are taken as the average weight of  the atomic mass of the  isotope of the element that are occuring  naturally. atomic weight of the atom depends on the 'atomic mass unit' (amu), that  is 1/12th of  the mass of carbon-12 present in its ​ground state.  Electrons  also contribute to the atomic mass.

Helium (He)

Explanation:

In the picture we see the following elementary particles:

2 electrons - the two spheres with negative charge which orbit around the nucleus

2 protons - the two spheres with positive charge in the nucleus

2 neutrons - the two spheres with no charge in the nucleus

The element will be Helium (He), because it have the atomic number 2 and the mass number 4, which means it contains 2 electrons, 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
