Protons = 17, electrons = 18
There are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :
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.
A chloride ion has gained one electron to become a Cl- ion, making it uncharged overall but with 18 electrons to match the 17 protons in its nucleus.
There are no protons in a chloride ion. A chloride ion is formed when a chlorine atom gains an electron to become negatively charged. It still contains 17 protons from the chlorine atom, but it has gained one electron to have a net charge of -1.
A chloride ion (of the isotope 35Cl) with a charge of -1. The 17 protons tell you its chlorine and since there is one more electron than proton it has a charge.
An oxide ion has 8 protons. This is because it is an oxygen atom that has gained 2 electrons to become negatively charged. The number of protons remains the same as the number of protons in a neutral oxygen atom.
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.
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.
A chloride ion has gained one electron to become a Cl- ion, making it uncharged overall but with 18 electrons to match the 17 protons in its nucleus.
There are 18 electrons in a chloride ion.
chloride ion is formed when chlorine atom adds one electron. Chloride ion thus has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
47 protons and 46 electrons.
There are no protons in a chloride ion. A chloride ion is formed when a chlorine atom gains an electron to become negatively charged. It still contains 17 protons from the chlorine atom, but it has gained one electron to have a net charge of -1.
35 protons, 36 electrons
Yes. The charge of a cation tells how many more protons than electrons it has. For example Fe3+ has three more protons than electrons. However these protons were not gained, since an element always has the same number of protons no matter what its charge is. So in order for an element to have more protons than electrons it has to lose the electrons.
A chloride ion (of the isotope 35Cl) with a charge of -1. The 17 protons tell you its chlorine and since there is one more electron than proton it has a charge.
