If you mean how many electrons are required for an atom of chlorine to have no charge, the answer is 17 as chlorine has an atomic of 17 so therefore has 17 protons. These protons have a positive charge so it requires 17 negatively charged electrons in order to "balance" the atom.

The number of electrons in the outermost electron shell of the chlorine atom is?

The chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost electron shell. This makes it easier for chlorine to gain one electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, forming a chloride ion.


What are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.

An atom chlorine has several valence electrons in its?

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in the 3rd electron shell. Chlroine is in the third row of the periodic chart, so its 3rd shell is the valence shell, and it is in the next to last column, 7A, so it has 7 electrons in that 3rd shell.


How many electrons does an iodone atom have in its outermost shell?

There is no Iodone atom, there is however an Iodine atom that has seven valence electrons or seven electrons in outermost shell.

What are electrons in the outermost energy shellcof an atom called?

Electrons in the outermost energy shell of an atom are called valence electrons.


An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?

The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.
