Number of chlorine atoms in CaCl2?
17
What is the name of the element that has atoms that contain 17 protons?
the name of the element that contains 17 protons is chlorine
What are the relationships among the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number - the number on the periodic table of the elements. For example Chlorine Cl has 17 protons. Conversely, all atoms with exactly 17 protons are chlorine atoms.
Does chlorine have 17 elements?
No. Chlorine atoms each have 17 protons in their nuclei
Does calcium and chlorine have the same atoms?
No. If two atoms are the same then they are of the same element. The type of atoms is determioned by the number of protons in the nucleus. A chlorine atom has 17 protons, a calcium atom has 20.
How many electrons and protons are there in chlorine gas?
Each atom of chlorine has 17 each of protons and electrons; as shown by the atomic number of chlorine.
Chlorine has atomic number 17 and mass number 35?
The atomic number tells you that chlorine atoms have 17 protons. If you know the mass number and atomic number, you can use subtraction to determine the number of neutrons like this: mass number - atomic number = 35 - 17 = 18. A neutral atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons. I'm guessing this is a neutral chlorine-17 atom, so it also has 17 electrons. So, and atom of chlorine-17 has 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 18 neutrons.
How many total electrons are present if the atom is electrically neutral in chlorine?
A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.
A chlorine atom has how many electrons in its outermost shell?
If you mean how many electrons are required for an atom of chlorine to have no charge, the answer is 17 as chlorine has an atomic of 17 so therefore has 17 protons. These protons have a positive charge so it requires 17 negatively charged electrons in order to "balance" the atom.
How many atoms does an uncharged atom of chlorine have?
17
How many neutrons in chlorine 37?
The isotope Chlorine-37 (or denoted as 37Cl) has 20 neutrons per atom. 37 is the mass number (sum of number of neutrons and protons per atom) and we know that the atomic number for Cl irregardless of whichever isotope is 17, which means all Cl atoms have 17 protons. Therefore the number of neutrons for Chlorine-37 is 37 - 17 = 20.
Why is this that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neutrons?
It would have 17 electrons. All chlorine atoms would have 17 electrons because they are electrically neutral, which means that number of protons (of charge +1) would be equal to number of electrons (of charge -1). This is true for all isotopes of chlorine.
