What is the charge of the electron cloud in chlorine-37?

The charge of the electron cloud in a chlorine-37 atom is -17 (the number of protons in the nucleus). This is because an atom is electrically neutral, so the number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus must be balanced by an equal number of electrons (negative charge) in the electron cloud.


What is the region of electrons?

The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.


What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?

The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.


What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?

The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.


What charge does the electron cloud of every atom have?

In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.


Why does a chloride ion have a larger radius than a chlorine atom?

chlorine ion has one more electron than the chlorine atom, thus the pull of the electrons to the protons in the nucleus is less because of the extra electron allowing the electron cloud to relax a tiny bit


What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?

A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.


Where electrons located?

in the electron cloud of an atom.


What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?

The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.


How can you use electron cloud in a sentence?

"The electron cloud is the space in the atom where the electrons orbit the nucleus."


Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?

A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.


Where are the electron on a chlorine atom?

Outside the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) in a "cloud".
