The neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and electrons.
The number of protons and electrons in chlorine is 17
The most common isotope of chlorine is chlorine-35, which has 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 18 neutrons.
Chlorine exist as two isotopes(same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons), although there are traces of one more but we're not to sure. ~70% of Chlorine is Chlorine-35 which contains 17 electrons and 18 neutrons ~30% of Chlorine is Chlorine-37 which contains 17 electrons and 20 neutrons and ≤1% of Chlorine-36........
No, an atom of chlorine with 20 protons would not be chlorine-37. Chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons, totaling 37 particles in its nucleus. The number of electrons in a neutral chlorine-37 atom would be 17, not 20.
17 protons and 17 electrons in chlorine.
chlorine ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
The chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons.
In chlorine gas (Cl2), there are 17 protons and 17 electrons in each chlorine atom. Since there are two chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas, there are a total of 34 protons and 34 electrons in chlorine gas.
The neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and electrons.
Chlorine-35 has 17 electrons. Chlorine has 17 protons, and since it is electrically neutral, it also has 17 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
Chlorine-37 has 17 electrons. This is because chlorine has 17 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
The number of protons and electrons in chlorine is 17
Chlorine 37 has 17 electrons, assuming that it is not an ion. If chlorine 37 was existing as an ion then it would have 18 electrons. The isotope of the element does not affect the number of electrons it has.
A chlorine atom with 17 protons will also have 17 electrons to maintain neutrality. The number of neutrons (18) does not affect the number of electrons in an atom.
17 same number as protons equal charge balance
Chlorine has 17 protons and an atom of Chlorine would have 17 electrons. However a Chloride Ion will have one more electron ie 18 electrons and will be negatively charged.
