Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, one valence electron in its third energy shell and option C, that is, 11 electrons and 11 protons.

Explanation:

The outermost electrons and the ones that take part in the process of bonding are termed as valence electrons. The atomic number of sodium is 11, thus, it possesses 11 protons and the atoms are neutral so it suggests that sodium has 11 electrons. By electronic configuration, it can be seen that in sodium, two electrons are present in the first shell, 8 in the second, and only one electron in the third shell, that is, 2.8.1. The electron present in the third shell is the valence electron.

First line: The atomic number is the whole number on the periodic table so atomic number 35 means the element is bromine. Thus the element symbol is Br. The atomic number is also the number of protons in the isotope so the number of protons is 35. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the isotope so the mass number is 35+46 or 81. The mass number gives you the top left number on the nuclear symbol (it will look the same as the one below it except the 79 is an 81). Lastly, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom so 35 electrons.
