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.
