Chlorine has 17 protons and an atom of Chlorine would have 17 electrons. However a Chloride Ion will have one more electron ie 18 electrons and will be negatively charged.
A chloride ion has gained one electron to become a Cl- ion, making it uncharged overall but with 18 electrons to match the 17 protons in its nucleus.
Protons = 17, electrons = 18There are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :Cl-35 (75%) having 35-17= 18 neutronsCl-37 (25%) having 37-17= 20 neutrons
There are no protons in a chloride ion. A chloride ion is formed when a chlorine atom gains an electron to become negatively charged. It still contains 17 protons from the chlorine atom, but it has gained one electron to have a net charge of -1.
A chloride ion (of the isotope 35Cl) with a charge of -1. The 17 protons tell you its chlorine and since there is one more electron than proton it has a charge.
An oxide ion has 8 protons. This is because it is an oxygen atom that has gained 2 electrons to become negatively charged. The number of protons remains the same as the number of protons in a neutral oxygen atom.
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.

chloride ion is formed when chlorine atom adds one electron. Chloride ion thus has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
A chloride ion (Cl⁻) has the same number of protons as a neutral chlorine atom, which is 17. This is because the number of protons, which defines the element, does not change when the atom gains or loses electrons to form an ion. Therefore, a chloride ion has 17 protons.
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
There are no protons in a chloride ion. A chloride ion is formed when a chlorine atom gains an electron to become negatively charged. It still contains 17 protons from the chlorine atom, but it has gained one electron to have a net charge of -1.
When table salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water, sodium (Na) donates one electron to chlorine (Cl), forming sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). Chlorine has 17 protons and, in its neutral state, also has 17 electrons. After gaining an electron from sodium, the chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons, giving it a net negative charge. Thus, the statement about chloride having 16 electrons is incorrect; it should have 18 electrons after the electron transfer.
47 protons and 46 electrons.
35 protons, 36 electrons
