Chlorine has the atomic number of 17. To keep it neutral then, it must have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl. That means it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons.

Chlorine exist as two isotopes(same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons), although there are traces of one more but we're not to sure. ~70% of Chlorine is Chlorine-35 which contains 17 electrons and 18 neutrons ~30% of Chlorine is Chlorine-37 which contains 17 electrons and 20 neutrons and ≤1% of Chlorine-36........


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.


Where is chlorine's subatomic particles go?

Chlorine has 17 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a chlorine isotope = Mass number - 17


What is the correct number of protons electrons and neutrons in the isotope 36Cl respectively?

Protons = 17; Electrons = 17; Neutrons = 19


What are you isotope or ion 17 protons 18 electrons 21 neutrons?

The element that has 17 protons is Chlorine, or Cl. The particular isotope of Cl that has 21 neutrons is called 38Cl, and is radioactive, having a half-life of 37.24 minutes. In this particular case, the number of electrons of this isotope are greater than its number of protons by one. That means that this isotope is also an ion, and is labeled as 38Cl-.


How man protons neutrons and electrons does 35Cl- have?

35Cl- has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The negative charge indicates an extra electron compared to the number of protons.

How many protons neutrons electrons does a chlorine molecule?

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. Thus, neutral chlorine will have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl, meaning it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons. *****************************2nd Opinion************* Since the question was about a chlorine molecule, shouldn't the answer be about Cl2? 34 p and 36 n


How many protons and electrons does chlorine have?

Chlorine has: 17 Protons 17 Electrons (in a neutral atom i.e. not an ion) (Isotope Mass Number - 17) is the number of Neutrons.
