the atomic number would be 17
&& the mass would be 35
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.
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.
The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons, so for a Chlorine atom with 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass number would be 17 (protons) + 18 (neutrons) = 35. The atomic number is simply the number of protons, which in this case is 17.
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).
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.

The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
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.
The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons, so for a Chlorine atom with 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass number would be 17 (protons) + 18 (neutrons) = 35. The atomic number is simply the number of protons, which in this case is 17.
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.

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.
The way to work this out is this:The 36 in 36CL relates to its atomic mass while the atomic number of CL is 17.The atomic mass of an atom's isotope is directly proportional to the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.While the the atomic number of an atom/element is directly proportional to the number of protons in the nucleus.Therefore if you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass you end up with the number of neutrons in the nucleus.In this case 36-17=19So there are 19 neutrons in 36CL
