Only neutral elements have the same number or protons and electrons so what you have is an ion. The atomic number of 17 means the element is Chorine but the symbol would be Cl-1 because it has gained an electron.

Chlorine is the element with 17 protons, and it is a positive ion with a 1+ charge, so the symbol would be 35-Cl+. This is very unusual for chlorine, as it nearly always forms negative ions.

The 17 protons tells us that this element is Chlorine, since atomic number is the number of protons. The additional electron means that the chloride ion has a charge of 1-. So the symbol for the chloride ion is Cl-.

How many neutrons and protons make up a charged atom?

Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
