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.

∙ 11y agoThe atomic number of sodium is 11 so it has 11 protons and 11 electrons. For Na-23 there are 12 neutrons (23 - 11 = 12)

How man protons neutrons and electrons does 35Cl- have?
The isotope chlorine-35 has 17 protons and 18 neutrons.
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........
Does Cl 37 have 20 protons 20 electrons and 20 neutrons?
Chlorine-37 has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 20 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in chlorine 39?
The number of protons and electrons is always the same as the atomic number, which for chlorine is 17. The number of neutrons is always the mass number minus the atomic number, which for this isotope is also 17.
How many neutrons and electrons in chlorine?
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.
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.
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.
What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in one atom of chlorine 37?
Chlorine atoms always have 17 protons. The number of neutrons equals the mass number of the isotope named minus the number of protons: in this instance, 35 - 17 or 18.
How many electrons and protons are there in chlorine gas?
Each atom of chlorine has 17 each of protons and electrons; as shown by the atomic number of chlorine.
How many neutrons does chlorine -35 have?
It has 18 neutrons. Its really simple, 35 is the mass number(A) i.e., the total number of neutrons and protons. We know atomic number(Z) of chlorine is 17. This is the number of protons. So A-Z will give us number of neutrons.
How many protons and electrons does chlorine have?
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
May you see a picture of how many protons neutrons and electrons in chlorine?
No. Sorry.
