There are two fairly common isotopes for chlorine. One of them has 18 neutrons, the other has 20.

What is the neutron of chlorine?

Presumably you mean how many neutrons? Chlorine has various isotopes, each having a different number of neutrons - take the mass of the isotope, subtract the atomic number (17), and the answer is the number of neutrons.


How many neutron's does chlorine have?

the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes


Why does this indicate that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neurrons?

Normal chlorine is Cl-35. 35 represents the combined number of protons and neutrons. If you subtract the atomic number of 17 from this, you get 18, which is your neutron count. You can do this for every element; just take the atomic mass number, round it to the nearest whole number, then subtract the atomic number to get the neutrons.


How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps


how to get the number of neutron?

Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron


If the chlorine nucleus had twenty neutrons would the charge in the nucleus be greater less or the same?

The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.


Neutron number equals 44.96?

The neutron number of an atom typically refers to the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It is not common for the neutron number to be a decimal value, as neutrons are whole particles. It is possible that the value provided is indicating an average or approximate neutron number for a specific isotope.


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 is atomic number for chlorine?

The atomic mass for chlorine (Cl) is 17


What element's atomic mass is 35.453?

The element with an atomic mass of 35.453 is chlorine. It is a halogen and has the atomic number 17.


Is neutron number conserved in radioactive decay?

Neutron number is not conserved in radioactive decay processes. During beta decay, a neutron may convert into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. This results in a change in neutron number.


What is the atmoic number of chlorine?

The atomic number of chlorine is 17.
