The element sodium has an atomic number of 11and a mass number of 23 how many protons neutrons and electrons does one atom contain

Explanation:

Element sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11

mass number = 23

proton = 11

electron = 11

Neutron = mass number - atomic number

= 23 - 11

= 12

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
