There are two fairly common isotopes for chlorine. One of them has 18 neutrons, the other has 20.
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.
the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
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.
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.
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.
the name of the element that contains 17 protons is chlorine
The atomic mass for chlorine (Cl) is 17
The element with an atomic mass of 35.453 is chlorine. It is a halogen and has the atomic number 17.
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.
The atomic number of chlorine is 17.
