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.

How many protons neutrons electrons does a chlorine molecule?

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. Thus, neutral chlorine will have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl, meaning it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons. *****************************2nd Opinion************* Since the question was about a chlorine molecule, shouldn't the answer be about Cl2? 34 p and 36 n

Why does this indicate that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neurrons?

Normal chlorine is Cl-35. 35 represents the combined number of protons and neutrons. If you subtract the atomic number of 17 from this, you get 18, which is your neutron count. You can do this for every element; just take the atomic mass number, round it to the nearest whole number, then subtract the atomic number to get the neutrons.
