I would give you the answer but to find it:
Take the atomic number (the one ontop) and subtract it from the Atomic Mass number (the one on the bottom) -rounding is involved (5 & up round up, 4 & down round down!)
Hope this helps.
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 neutrons. Chlorine 35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine 37 has 20 neutrons. This causes them to have different atomic masses.
Chlorine typically has 18 neutrons in its nucleus, which accounts for its atomic weight of 35.45 g/mol.

The main difference between chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 is their atomic mass. Chlorine-35 has an atomic mass of 35 amu, while chlorine-37 has an atomic mass of 37 amu. This is due to the different number of neutrons in their nuclei: chlorine-35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 has 20 neutrons.
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.
the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
Chlorine has 18 neutrons.
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
It depends on which isotope of chlorine you're interested in.

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........
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
