Answer:

Sodium has a mass number of 23amu. Since sodium has 11 protons, the number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Explanation:

The mass number is given at the top left of the elements symbol, for example, sodium has a mass number of 23.

Sodium (Na) square from the periodic table. The mass number (23) is top-left. The atomic number (11) is bottom-left.

We know that the atomic number of sodium is 11. This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons.

The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass).

Sodium has a mass number of 23amu. Since sodium has 11 protons, the number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct
klasskru [66]
I would say C is the most correct. 
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future. 
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.
