An atom of sodium -23 has a net charge of +1 identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Then explain how you determine the number of each type of particle. Use the periodic table to help

Sagot :

Number of protons is 11

Number of neutrons is 12

Number of electrons is 10

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 Protons = 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
