Answer:

There are 12 neutrons and 11 electrons in 23Na+

Step-by-step explanation:

An atomic number of 11 means this atom will have 11 protons. A mass number of 23 means 23 - 11 this atom will have 12 neutrons. Since this atom is neutral the positive protons must be equal to the negative electrons. This atom will have 11 electrons.
