Discuss clearly how all of the collected data (melting point, mass spectrum, IR spectrum, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra) can be used together to confirm the identity of the product.

16. 11 protons means its atomic number is 11 so the element is ₁₁Na

17. mass number = sum of protons n neutrons = 11+12 = 23

18. 11 electrons means the configuration is 1s2 2s8 3s1

19. its an atom, not an ion cuz' no. of electrons = no. of protons so it is neutral n not charged

20. losing 1 e- will make Na +ve charge so it becomes a cation
