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.

In Na-23 atom having +1 charge, the number of

1) Protons = 11

2) Electrons = 10

3) Neutrons = 12

Explanation: There are 3 subatomic particles present in any nucleus: Protons, neutrons and electrons.

For a given

where, 11 = Atomic number

23 = Atomic mass

For an atom having +1 charge on it, the

Electronic configuration for

Electronic configuration for   (It will loose one electron)

Number of electrons = 10

Number of protons = 11

Number of neutrons = 23 - 11 = 12

answer: i would say b.

explanation:
