Chlorine has an Atom number of 17 and atom mass of 35.45. So atom mass - atom number gives you 18.45
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
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.
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........
Yes, the main isotope of chlorine has 17 protons and 18 neutrons.
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.
No. Sorry.
Cl-35 isotope has 18 neutrons Cl-37 isotope has 20 neutrons
Chlorine has the atomic number of 17. To keep it neutral then, it must have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl. That means it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons.
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.
There should be 17, since the atomic number is how many protons (of which there are the same amount of neutrons). However, if it is an unstable isotope, it would have more neutrons.
