Chapter 3, Problem 16RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of protons in sodium atom using the periodic table should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Proton is a positively charged subatomic particle; the charge on the proton particle is +1e and its mass is slightly less than that of a neutron. The number of protons present in the nucleus is a defining property of the element and is referred to as an atomic number. Each element has a unique atomic number owing to the unique number of protons.
