C = 1
H =1
C = 1
I = 1
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
Answer:
Number of proton is 11
Number of neutrons is 12
Number of electrons is 10
Explanation:
For a neutral Na, Sodium atom:
The mass number P+N = 23
Atomic number(E or P) = 11
A charged Na atom that has lost an electron is positively charged and so:
Number of proton = 11 (Still the same)
Number of neutrons = 12
Number of electrons = 11-1=10 (the atom has lost an electron)
If an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged ie P>E
the answer is D
Because x can equal any number divided by 2 +1
