Chlorine atom has 17 electrons. It is readily accepting an electron from another atom to obtain its stable electron configuration (of argon). A chloride ion has 18 electrons.
30 or 32 neutrons, because chlorine has two isotopes.
Sodium has 12 neutrons. Chloride ion has 18 neutrons. In a formula unit, NaCl has 30 neutrons.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 37 - 17 = 20 neutrons

In calcium chloride, there are 20 protons (from calcium), 20 electrons (neutral atom), and varying number of neutrons depending on the isotope of calcium used. Chloride ions have 18 electrons each, giving the compound a charge of -1.
Protons=17 Neutrons depend on isotope but most common is 18, and electrons depend on compound however by it self cl has 17 but it steals an electron from other elements to get 18
Zinc chloride has the chemical formula ZnCl2.The total number of protons is 64; the total number of electrons is also 64.The number of neutrons depends on the isotopes of Zn and Cl.
How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
Neutrons do not have a charge, as they are electrically neutral particles. Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it gains an electron to form a chloride ion.
