chlorine brings a big health hazard if it is taken into the body. External gamma exposure is not a concern because chlorine-36 decays by emitting a relatively low-energy beta particle with only a small amount of gamma radiation. While in the body, chlorine poses a hazard from the beta particles and gamma radiation. The main concern is the increased likelihood of cancer. Chlorine is a very toxic gas, and intense exposures to high levels can lead to death.
The people who have been exposed to Chlorine may endure a lifetime of cancer. Chlorine's main means for entering the body could be from inhaling the gas but ingestion is generally the most common means of entry into the body. Most people can ingest chlorine 36 by simply drinking from the tap water, but because the water contains very small traces of chlorine 36, it has little to no harm on people.

What is the atomic number of KCl?
potassium=19 chlorine=17 potassium chloride=36
What is the atomic number for clorine-36?
Chlorine is a non meta element. Atomic number of it is 17.
How many tablets of chlorine does a 5000 gallon pool take?
1 daily
How many protons neutrons electrons does a chlorine molecule?
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. Thus, neutral chlorine will have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl, meaning it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons. *****************************2nd Opinion************* Since the question was about a chlorine molecule, shouldn't the answer be about Cl2? 34 p and 36 n
What does it indicate that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neutrons?
As a matter of fact, there are 18 neutrons in the chlorine atom.
What is the atomic mass of chlorine-36?
36
How many electrons are in a chlorine 36?
the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons only then the atom will be stable hence there are 17 electrons in chlorine 36
What is the number of electrons in chlorine-35?
Chlorine is a non metal element. There are 17 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrons are in chlorine-36?
Chlorine is a non metal element. There are 17 electrons in a single atom.
What is chlorines mass number?
35,36 and 37. Chlorine has three stable isotopes chlorine-35, chlorine-36, chlorine 37 the most abundant of which are chlorine-35 and chlorine-37.
How many neutrons does a chlorine atom have in its nucleus in words?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Chlorine-35 has eighteen neutrons. Chlorine-36 has nineteen neutrons. Chlorine-37 has twenty neutrons. ....... etc.
What is the atomic number of KCl?
potassium=19 chlorine=17 potassium chloride=36
What are the release dates for Galacticast - 2006 In-Fold Safety Video 1-36?

When potassium-39 is bombarded by neutrons chlorine-36 is produced what other particles are emitted?
An Alpha particle
How many electrons neutrons and protons are in cluorine?
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........
