Which statement correctly compares an atom of Neon-20 and an atom of Sodium-23?

An atom of neon 20 has one fewer proton and one fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

An atom of neon-20 has one more proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two more neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

Answer 1

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neon - 20 and Sodium - 23

Neon - 20

Protons = 10

Neutrons = 10

Sodium - 23

Protons = 11

Neutrons = 12

With the information above and checking the options;

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

This option is correct.
