Question
this is how sodium appears in the periodic table. the arrow is pointing to sodiums number of neutrons. chemical symbol atomic mass combined number of electrons and protons.
In the periodic table, the atomic mass of an element is typically shown below its name. Sodium's atomic mass is \(22.99\). The number of neutrons can be calculated (atomic mass - atomic number), but it's not directly shown as \(22.99\). The chemical symbol is \(Na\). The combined number of electrons and protons (for neutral atoms, electrons = protons = atomic number \(11\), so combined is \(22\), not \(22.99\)).
