34 protons, 11 neutrons, 11 electrons

11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons
11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons

11 protons, 11 neutrons, and 12 electrons
11 protons, 11 neutrons, and 12 electrons

23 protons, 12 neutrons, and 23 electrons

11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons

ARE U SURE

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons for a stable Sodium (Na) atom.

so it wouldn't be 11 protons, 11 neutrons and 12 electrons

Yes, that is correct. I apologize for any confusion. The correct number of each subatomic particle for a stable Sodium (Na) atom is 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons.

so itll be 12 neutrons instead of 11?

Apologies for the confusion. The correct number of each subatomic particle for a stable Sodium (Na) atom is 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. Thank you for catching that mistake.

nvm had it mixed up got it
