Answer 2

11 protons, 11 electrons, 12 neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Protons are equal to the atomic number, so 11 in this case. Electrons are equivalent to Protons if the atom is not an ion. Electrons are 11 as well. To find Neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the mass, which would mean that there are 12 Neurons.
