Solution
The correct option is A11,11,12 The atomic weight of an element is 23 and its atomic number is 11. The number of proton, electrons and neutrons, present in the atom of the element are 11,11,12 respectively
Number of electrons = number of protons = atomic number =11 Number of neutrons = Mass number − atomic number =23−11=12
