18 neutrons

∙ 12y agoA chlorine atom has 17 electrons, which means that its electronic configuration would be (2,8,7). For it to become an ion, it would have to get another electron for the valence shell to be full. Therefore a chloride ion would have 17+1=18 electrons in total. Electronic configuration = (2,8,8)
I hope i'm right. I just learnt this :3

∙ 12y agoThe same as chlorine atoms (atomnumber 17).
However there are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :
- Cl-35 (75%) having 35-17= 18 neutrons
- Cl-37 (25%) having 37-17= 20 neutrons

∙ 10y agoIt depends on which atom of chlorine. Chlorine mainly exists as 2 different atoms. One with a mass number of 35 and another with a mass of 37 (these different atoms are called isotopes) The atomic number of chlorine is 17 so in order to work out the number of neutrons you have to subtract the atomic number from the mass number. In the case of the atom with a mass of 35, it would have 35-17 = 18 neutrons. In the case of the atom with a mass of 37, it would have 37-17 = 20 neutrons.

How many nutrons are in the element chlorine?
18 neutrons.
How many neutrons are in atoms of chlorine?
There should be 17, since the atomic number is how many protons (of which there are the same amount of neutrons). However, if it is an unstable isotope, it would have more neutrons.
Chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 have a different number of what?
Neutrons.
Does an atom of chlorine have 17 protons and 18 neutrons?
Yes, the main isotope of chlorine has 17 protons and 18 neutrons.
What is the number of neutrons for chlorine?
19
How many neutrons does a chlorine atom have in its nucleus in words?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Chlorine-35 has eighteen neutrons. Chlorine-36 has nineteen neutrons. Chlorine-37 has twenty neutrons. ....... etc.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a Chlorine atom?
18.5 neutrons Neutrons can not be a fraction. Must be a whole number. Chlorine has 18 neutrons
If the atomic mass of chlorine is 35 how many neutrons does it have?
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
How many neturons in chlorine?
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
How many neutrons are in chlorine ion?
It depends on which isotope of chlorine you're interested in.
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
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 neutrons does a Chlorine atom have in its nucleus?
18
How many nutrons are in the element chlorine?
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........
How many neutrons are in sodium chloride?
30 or 32 neutrons, because chlorine has two isotopes.
How many protons and neutrons are in chlorine and sodium'?
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
