Why does this indicate that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neurrons?

Normal chlorine is Cl-35. 35 represents the combined number of protons and neutrons. If you subtract the atomic number of 17 from this, you get 18, which is your neutron count. You can do this for every element; just take the atomic mass number, round it to the nearest whole number, then subtract the atomic number to get the neutrons.


Do sodium and chlorine have the same kind of subatomic particiles?

Yes: All atoms contain protons and electrons, and all except the atoms of hydrogen-1 also contain neutrons.

How many neutrons are in atoms of chlorine?

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.
