The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
Sodium has eleven electrons in each of its atoms, as long as the atoms are neutral. You can determine this by looking at the atomic numbers on the Periodic Table. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, given the eleven electrons, you would look for the element with the atomic number eleven, which is sodium (Na).

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a sodium atom?
Electrons~ 11 Neutrons~11 12Protons~11Youre welcome(;___________________________ (Improved answer) No, It has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons.
If a neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons how many electrons does it have?
An element with 11 protons will have atomic number 11, or sodium. If the element has 11 neutrons, then it has an atomic mass of 11+11 = 22. Therefore, the isotope Sodium-22 has 11 protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is the atomic number of Na 23?
atomic weight - protons = neutrons, Na-23 has an atomic weight of 23 amu, and 11 protons so 23-11=12 neutrons
How you can use an atomss mass number and atomic number to determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
The atomic number gives the number of protons in an atom, which also equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom. By subtracting the atomic number from the mass number, you can find the number of neutrons in the atom.
What is the electronic configuration of element having 11 electron?
If it has 11 electrons it must have 11 protons to balance the charge. So the element is Na. But you know it's going to be an isotope of Na since the number of protons and number of neutrons are different. To find out which isotope you have, you must get the mass number which is just the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (remember, they are the only ones that have mass) 11+12= 23 So you have Na-23
