17 same number as protons equal charge balance
This element is xenon.
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
The number of electrons, equal to the number of protons.
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.
17 same number as protons equal charge balance
the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons only then the atom will be stable hence there are 17 electrons in chlorine 36
This element is xenon.
Chlorine has 17 electrons. The number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom is equal to its atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom). The electronic configuration of chlorine is [Ne] 3s2 3p5.
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons:P
No; not if it is an ion. A chlorine atom, for example, has 17 protons and 17 electrons, but a chlorine ion (like when it is in sodium chloride, which is table salt) has 17 protons and 18 electrons. So, if you see an element with 18 electrons, it could be a chlorine ion, an argon atom, or a potassium ion.
This element is xenon.
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and electrons that an element has.
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
the number of protons and electrons are the same. on the Periodic Table of Elements you will see your element that you are looking for, then you will see there is a number under it. )ex. 9=flourine) that number is the number of protons. then, usually the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons are the same.
An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.
