An atom of sodium-23 (na-23) has a net charge of +1. identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. then, explain how you determined the number of each type of particle. use the periodic table to you.

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
