First split salt into its components Na-Sodium and Cl-Chlorine; take a look at the Periodic Table and you'll see the atomic number (at the top of the box of an element) that number is how many protons are in the element, so you add the atomic number for sodium-11 to the atomic number for chlorine-17 and you get 28 protons all together in salt, that means that you must also have 28 electrons (the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons). Now to solve for neutrons take a look at the number at the bottom of the periodic table (known as the mass number or amu or Atomic Mass units-not shown on all periodic tables so you may have to look it up) for Sodium it's 22.98977 and for Chlorine it's 35.4527 now what that means is the weighted average mass of all the isotopes of the element, what you can do is round that number to 23 and 35, then add those two numbers together making 58 ( the total number of protons + neutrons) then subtract 28 from 58 to give you 30 neutrons (though the number of neutrons varies depending on the isotope of the elements 30 neutrons is the most common isotope of salt). That leaves you with a grand total of 28 protons, 28 electrons, and 30 neutrons.
There are two main isotopes of chlorine. Every chlorine atom has 17 electrons where there are 18 and 20 neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 respectively.

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........
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.
No, an atom of chlorine with 20 protons would not be chlorine-37. Chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons, totaling 37 particles in its nucleus. The number of electrons in a neutral chlorine-37 atom would be 17, not 20.
Cl-35 isotope has 18 neutrons Cl-37 isotope has 20 neutrons
17 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is always the same.
Chlorine has the atomic number of 17. To keep it neutral then, it must have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl. That means it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons.
There are two main isotopes of chlorine. Every chlorine atom has 17 electrons where there are 18 and 20 neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 respectively.
35Cl- has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The negative charge indicates an extra electron compared to the number of protons.
'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.
In one atom of chlorine-37, the number of protons is 17 (as in all chlorine atoms), the number of electrons is also 17 (since atoms are electrically neutral), and the number of neutrons is 20 (37 - 17).
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
35Cl17 has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons.You could have answered this yourself by recalling that the mass number (35) is the sum of the protons and neutrons, that the number of protons and electrons are equal for a non-charged atom, and that the atomic number (17) comes right out of the periodic table.
