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.

Is chlorine a proton electron or neutron?
Chlorine is neither a proton, electron nor a neutron. Chlorine is a chemical element that exists as chlorine gas, Cl2(g) and is very reactive. However, a chlorine atom would have 17 protons, 17 electrons and either 18 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-35) or 20 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-37).
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
What kind of charge does a neutron have?
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
What are the particles in the atoms nucleus which have no charge called?
The neutron. There are others, but the neutron is the best-known particle that is electrically neutral.The neutron.

how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron

What is the neutron number of chlorine?
There are two fairly common isotopes for chlorine. One of them has 18 neutrons, the other has 20.
Whats the charge for neutrons in chlorine?
a neutron is neutral in any atom
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
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.
Why is chlorine used for water treatment?
Chlorine reacts with water to form HClO (hydrogen chlorate(I)), which is poisonous for germs in the water.ans2 Other treatments include Bromine (similar to Chlorine), UV irradiation, Neutron irradiation. Reverse osmosis filtration will also remove contaminants, and some industrial units process can treat up to 1 million litres per day.
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
Is a neutron positive charged?
No. A neutron carries no charge.
What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
What happens to a poisonous chlorine gas if a proton is added?
You'd still have poisonous chlorine gas, and it would be as toxic as it was before you added the neutron. But there is more news, and it's bad. By adding a neutron to each of the atoms, you'd end up with unstable isotopes of chlorine, which means that all your chlorine gas is now radioactive and presents a radiation hazard as well as being as poisonous as it was originally.
What did James chadwick do?
James chadwick was the discoverer of neutron. He gave the famous neutron reaction.
