Answer: If element Q has 11 protons, its atomic number is 11.
Explanation:
The atomic number of a chemical element is the total number of protons that each atom of that element has.
In other words: it indicates the amount of protons that is present in the nucleus of an atom.
In this sense, the periodic table of the elements arranges the chemical elements in the form of a table, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), by their configuration of electrons and their chemical properties.
