Presumably you mean how many neutrons? Chlorine has various isotopes, each having a different number of neutrons - take the mass of the isotope, subtract the atomic number (17), and the answer is the number of neutrons.
Chlorine is neither a proton, electron nor a neutron. Chlorine is a chemical element that exists as chlorine gas, Cl2(g) and is very reactive. However, a chlorine atom would have 17 protons, 17 electrons and either 18 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-35) or 20 neutrons (for the isotope chlorine-37).

Radium is most commonly combined with beryllium, to create a neutron source for various applications such as in neutron radiography and in some types of cancer treatment. Combining radium with other elements can be dangerous due to its highly radioactive nature.
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral

There are two fairly common isotopes for chlorine. One of them has 18 neutrons, the other has 20.
the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes

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.
The main difference between the atomic structure of chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 isotopes is in their atomic mass. Chlorine-35 has 17 protons and 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons. This difference in neutron count gives chlorine-37 a slightly higher atomic mass compared to chlorine-35.
The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.

You'd still have poisonous chlorine gas, and it would be as toxic as it was before you added the neutron. But there is more news, and it's bad. By adding a neutron to each of the atoms, you'd end up with unstable isotopes of chlorine, which means that all your chlorine gas is now radioactive and presents a radiation hazard as well as being as poisonous as it was originally.
No. A neutron carries no charge.
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
Normal chlorine is Cl-35. 35 represents the combined number of protons and neutrons. If you subtract the atomic number of 17 from this, you get 18, which is your neutron count. You can do this for every element; just take the atomic mass number, round it to the nearest whole number, then subtract the atomic number to get the neutrons.
