Given information

Here the given isotope of sodium is:

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

In the given isotope , the atomic number is 11 and the mass number is 23. 

Since the atomic number gives the number of protons, the isotope  consists of  protons .

The relationship between Mass Number (A), Number of Protons (p), and Number of Neutrons (n) is as follows:-

 

So, the number of neutrons is calculated as follows:-

Substitute 23 for A and 11 for p in the equation (1) as given below:-

   

   

Thus the isotope  consists of protons and neutrons.
