This is a tricky question to answer because a typical chlorine atom is composed of 17 neutrons, 17 protons and 17 electrons. However there are isotopes with more or less neutrons, and charged particles with more or less electrons.

Depending on the context of this question the answer gets even more confused by quantum mechanics. Protons and Neutrons were once thought as fundamental particles (couldn't be broken down/not made of other particles) but now it is believed that they consist of 3 quarks each. Electrons are still believed to be fundamental.
