Chemistry

Answer:

b. The number of electrons

Explanation:

A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.

The table below shows the number of sub-atomic particles in an atom of sodium. Sub-atomic Particles Sub-atomic Particle Number P
AlexFokin [52]

Answer is: the amu of a sodium atom is 23.

The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.

One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron).

The unified atomic mass unit is equal 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.

n(p⁺) = 11; number of protons in sodium atom.

n(n°) = 12; number of neutrons of sodium atom.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 11 + 12.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 23; number of nucleons in sodium atom.
