Best Answer

Yes. Argon is the only neutral element with 18 electrons.

However, there can be other ions that can be isoelectronic (having same number of electrons) with argon.

Cations such as K+, Ca2+ or Sc3+ have 18 electrons.

Anions such as Cl-, S2- or P3- have 18 electrons.

What element has 18 protons?

The element that has 18 neutrons is ARGON... Wow, why didn't look in a periodic table? Is easier ask here??? Actually, 18 is argon's atomic number, and it also has 18 protons and electrons.. but it has 22 neutrons. The number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons. Soo, the answer is Chlorine, 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons
