Question

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of

Answer 1

Answer:

Protons= 11

neutrons= 12

electrons = 10

Explanantion:

Look for Na on periodic table

Atomic Number = 11

Atomic Mass = 23 (round it to be an integer)

Number of protons = Atomic number = 11

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - atomic number = 23-11 =12

Number of electrons = 11 - e = ´+1 , electrons = 10
