A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.

The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of what?

In a electrically neutral atom, the number of positive charges in the atom's nucleus (with one charge being held on each proton in the nucleus), is balanced out by the number of negative charges present in the electron cloud round the nucleus (with one charge being held on each electron in the cloud). This means that in a neutral atom the number of Protons = the number of Electrons.

What two subatomic particles must be the same to a maintain a neutral atom?

The question is a bit fuzzy, but I'll interpret it to mean what two particles need to be present in the same numbers to maintain a neutral atom. The answer is protons (with a positive charge) and electrons (with a negative charge). The charges for each are equal and opposite, so when they are balanced in equal numbers, the atom is electrically neutral.


How many total electrons are present when Chlorine is in its ionized state?

When Chlorine is in its ionized state, it gains one electron to become a chloride ion (Cl-). Therefore, in its ionized state, Chlorine has 18 electrons in total.
