It is NOT an atom but a 1+ ion of Chlorine Cl+ (atomnumber 17, massnumber 17+18=35) isotope 35.
17 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is always the same.
An atom of Sulfur-33 contains 16 protons (because it is sulfur), 17 neutrons (because of the isotope number 33), and 16 electrons (since atoms are electrically neutral).
Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.
S with 17 neutrons and 16 protons has a mass number of 33 amu
17 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is always the same.
Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
35 (amu)
An atom of Sulfur-33 contains 16 protons (because it is sulfur), 17 neutrons (because of the isotope number 33), and 16 electrons (since atoms are electrically neutral).
No, an atom of chlorine with 20 protons would not be chlorine-37. Chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons, totaling 37 particles in its nucleus. The number of electrons in a neutral chlorine-37 atom would be 17, not 20.
In one atom of chlorine-37, the number of protons is 17 (as in all chlorine atoms), the number of electrons is also 17 (since atoms are electrically neutral), and the number of neutrons is 20 (37 - 17).
there are 9 protons and there are 19 neutrons and 17 electrons. plz contact me on facebook.com/gennamerryman
Number of nucleons = number of protons + neutrons = 16 + 17 = 33 The mass number is thus 33 and the atom is denoted sulfur-33 or 33S.
oxygen-17.
35Cl17 has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons.You could have answered this yourself by recalling that the mass number (35) is the sum of the protons and neutrons, that the number of protons and electrons are equal for a non-charged atom, and that the atomic number (17) comes right out of the periodic table.
