The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons, 35 in this instance. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons, 17 in this instance.

If the atomic mass of chlorine is 35 how many neutrons does it have?

The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)


Why is the 17 in 35 Cl not needed to describe chlorine?

The number 17 in 35Cl represents the atomic mass of chlorine, which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since the atomic number (number of protons) is sufficient to uniquely identify an element, the number 17 is not needed to describe chlorine.


How many protons and neutrons in Cl-37?

The number of protons in Chlorine is relative to its atomic number of 17. The amount of protons will not change, or will become a different element. The 37 refers to the amount of nucleons in the element. The total nucleons is calculated by adding the amount of protons and neutrons, so if we know there are 17 protons, 37-17= 20 neutrons. There are 17 protons and 20 neutrons in Cl-37.


How many neturons in chlorine?

The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)


How many neutrons does chlorine -35 have?

It has 18 neutrons. Its really simple, 35 is the mass number(A) i.e., the total number of neutrons and protons. We know atomic number(Z) of chlorine is 17. This is the number of protons. So A-Z will give us number of neutrons.


A chlorine atom that has 17 protons and 18 neutrons is called?

The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, in this case 35. The atomic number is the same as he number of protons, in this case 17.


How many neutrons in chlorine 37?

The isotope Chlorine-37 (or denoted as 37Cl) has 20 neutrons per atom. 37 is the mass number (sum of number of neutrons and protons per atom) and we know that the atomic number for Cl irregardless of whichever isotope is 17, which means all Cl atoms have 17 protons. Therefore the number of neutrons for Chlorine-37 is 37 - 17 = 20.


What is the number of atomic particles in chlorine?

A chlorine-35 atom has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons, altogether 52 atomic particles. Chlorine-37 has two more neutrons and it has 54 atomic particles.


How many protons does the element chlorine have?

Chlorine (Cl) has atomic number 17, and so it has 17 protons in the nucleus.


Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?

Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons


What has 17 protons and 20 neutrons?

An atom with 17 protons and 20 neutrons would be chlorine-37, which has a total atomic mass of 37 (17 protons + 20 neutrons).


How many electrons are in chlorine?

'17' Chlorine Atomic No, is 17. This means it is in position No. 17 in Periodic Table. It has 17 protons It has 17 electrons. NB Do NOT confuse with Atomic Mass of Chlorine. Chlorine has two common isotopes. One isotope has an atomic mass of 35 . That is 17 protons and 18 neutrons). The other isotope has an atomic mass of 37. That is 17 protons and 20 neutrons). For both isotopes the number of protons and electrons remains the same. An isotope is a different number of neutrons.
