Chlorine-37 has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 20 neutrons.
This is the ion Cl- of the isotope chlorine-37.
A rubidium atom has 37 protons, 27 electrons and usually 48 neutrons. Though another fairly common isotope has 50 neutrons.
The isotope Chlorine-37 (or denoted as 37Cl) has 20 neutrons per atom. 37 is the mass number (sum of number of neutrons and protons per atom) and we know that the atomic number for Cl irregardless of whichever isotope is 17, which means all Cl atoms have 17 protons. Therefore the number of neutrons for Chlorine-37 is 37 - 17 = 20.
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........
Zinc has 30 protons 30 electrons and neutrons in variable numbers, depending on which isotope (% occurring in nature): 34 (48.9%), 36 (27.8%), 37 (4.1%), 38 (18.6%) or 40 (0.6%)
Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.
Cl-35 isotope has 18 neutrons Cl-37 isotope has 20 neutrons
Chlorine atoms always have 17 protons. The number of neutrons equals the mass number of the isotope named minus the number of protons: in this instance, 35 - 17 or 18.
Its atomic # is 37 so 37 protrons and electrons as for nuetrons it is 85(atomicmass)- 37(the atomic number)=48
Rubidium's atomic number is 37 and atomic number is the same as the protons (37 protons) Protons equal electrons so there is the same number of protons and electrons (37 electrons). The atomic mass of this element is About 85, and protons and neutrons weigh about 1 so you can subtract 37 from 85 to get and 48 neutrons. 37 protons, 37 electrons and 48 neutrons.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons, plus 20-22 neutrons. A rubidium atom has 37 protons and 37 electrons, plus 46-50 neutrons and so is bigger.
Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
This is the ion Cl- of the isotope chlorine-37.
The number of protons in Chlorine is relative to its atomic number of 17. The amount of protons will not change, or will become a different element. The 37 refers to the amount of nucleons in the element. The total nucleons is calculated by adding the amount of protons and neutrons, so if we know there are 17 protons, 37-17= 20 neutrons. There are 17 protons and 20 neutrons in Cl-37.
A rubidium atom has 37 protons, 27 electrons and usually 48 neutrons. Though another fairly common isotope has 50 neutrons.
Chlorine!!! Chlorine has two stable isotopes ; Cl-35 & Cl-37 The subatomic particle arrangemtn in them is Cl-35 ; 17 protons, 18 neutrons, 17 electrons Cl-37 ; 17 protons, 20 neutrons, 17 electrons.
Number of Protons = Number of electrons = 17.The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Cl-35 and Cl-37 isotopes have 18 and 20 isotopes respectively.
