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.

What is the neutron number of chlorine?

There are two fairly common isotopes for chlorine. One of them has 18 neutrons, the other has 20.


How many neutron's does chlorine have?

the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes


Is chlorine a proton electron or neutron?

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).


Whats the charge for neutrons in chlorine?

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.


What is the difference between the atomic structure of the chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 isotopes?

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.


If the chlorine nucleus had twenty neutrons would the charge in the nucleus be greater less or the same?

The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.

What happens to a poisonous chlorine gas if a proton is added?

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.


Is a neutron positive charged?

No. A neutron carries no charge.


What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?

There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.


Why does this indicate that most chlorine atoms contain 18 neurrons?

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.
