all elements have the same amount of protons and neutrons. when they are not balanced e.g. there is an extra electron, they are no longer atoms they are ions.

How many electrons does chlorine 37 have?

Chlorine 37 has 17 electrons, assuming that it is not an ion. If chlorine 37 was existing as an ion then it would have 18 electrons. The isotope of the element does not affect the number of electrons it has.


Who many electrons are in the element chlorine?

17 same number as protons equal charge balance


How many electrons does a chlorine atom have if it has 17 protons and 18 neutrons?

17 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is always the same.


Is the amount of protons the same as the amount of electrons?

the atomic number


How many electrons are in chlorine?

'17' Chlorine Atomic No, is 17. This means it is in position No. 17 in Periodic Table. It has 17 protons It has 17 electrons. NB Do NOT confuse with Atomic Mass of Chlorine. Chlorine has two common isotopes. One isotope has an atomic mass of 35 . That is 17 protons and 18 neutrons). The other isotope has an atomic mass of 37. That is 17 protons and 20 neutrons). For both isotopes the number of protons and electrons remains the same. An isotope is a different number of neutrons.


How do you find the number of protons electrons of an element?

The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.


How much electrons are there?

In an atom, there are the same amount of protons as electrons, if that's what you mean.


What is the atomic number of the element has 17 electrons?

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.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in chlorine 37?

Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.


What type of atom has the same amount of protons to electrons?

An isotope


How many electrons neutrons and protons are in cluorine?

Chlorine exist as two isotopes(same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons), although there are traces of one more but we're not to sure. ~70% of Chlorine is Chlorine-35 which contains 17 electrons and 18 neutrons ~30% of Chlorine is Chlorine-37 which contains 17 electrons and 20 neutrons and ≤1% of Chlorine-36........


Chlorine has two isotopesstate one way in which atoms of the two isotopes are the same?

The two isotopes of chlorine are the same in that they have the same number of protons, which is the atomic number. The neutral atoms of each isotope also have the same number of electrons as protons. They differ in the number of neutrons.
