Is chlorine a proton electron or neutron?
Chlorine is neither a proton, electron nor a neutron. Chlorine is a chemical element that exists as chlorine gas, Cl2(g) and is very reactive. However, a chlorine atom would have 17 protons, 17 electrons and either 18 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-35) or 20 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-37).
How many proton are in chlorine?
There are 17 protons in Chlorine.
Why is the sodium atom smaller than the chlorine atom in a salt molcule?
The sodium atom loses an electron to chlorine. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity so it attracts the electron from sodium. Sodium now has 11 positive protons holding only 10 electrons whereas chlorine has an extra electron to control. Chlorine has 17 protons holding 18 negative electrons, therefore, its proton to electron ratio has gone down. Sodium's proton to electron ratio went up, therefore, the electrons are closer to the nucleus and the ionic radius is less than the atomic radius.
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
Is the mass of an electron greater then the mass of a proton?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
Is the mass of a proton greater then the mass of a electron?
No. A proton is many times more massive than an electron.
Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
A proton. A proton has a mass of 1 a.m.u. while an electron has a mass of 1/1840 a.m.u.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
Will a chlorine ion lose its extra electron to a sodium ion when they are separated by an electric field in an aqueous solution?
no, because the electric potential of sodium is so low.But chlorine will give electron to proton to form hydrogen gas
Does chlorine attract of release electron and if so how many are involved?
Chlorine attracts 1 electron
How many protons and neutrons and electrons are in H?
There are 1 proton, 0 neutron and 1 electron in H1.
