Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons = 19 + 20 = 39
All chlorine atoms contain 17 protons in each nucleus. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, the atom described in the question has a mass number of 35.
Atomic number is unique to an element. Since both Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37 has atomic number of 17, they are both Chlorine. However they have different atomic mass (caused by different number of neutrons in the atom) thus they are called isotope.
Each chlorine atom contains 17 electrons, which offset the electric charge of the 17 protons in the nucleus of each atom, as indicated by the fact that the atomic number of chlorine is 17. The number of neutrons per atom varies, however, depending on which isotope of chlorine is examined. There are two naturally occurring and radioactively stable isotopes of chlorine, with mass numbers of 35 and 37, and there are many other radioactive isotopes. The number of neutrons in an atom of a particular isotope may be found by subtracting 17, the atomic number of chlorine, from the mass number.
35-17= 18 neutrons.
Chlorine has an Atom number of 17 and atom mass of 35.45. So atom mass - atom number gives you 18.45
Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons = 19 + 20 = 39
17.
Chlorine is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 35.

the atomic number would be 17 && the mass would be 35

Every chlorine atom has 17 protons; 17 is the atomic number of chlorine. However, chlorine has two isotopes that are stable against radioactive decay. These have mass numbers of 35 and 37, which have 18 and 20 neutrons respectively.
The mass every individual atom is the same. all oxyegens are the same and so on and so on
35-17= 18 neutrons.
