the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
A chloride ion has 18 electrons. This is one more than the neutral chlorine atom, which has 17 electrons. The one additional electron gained during ionization is responsible for the 1- charge of the ion.
35Cl- has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The negative charge indicates an extra electron compared to the number of protons.
There are 18, 20 or 22 neutrons.
Hydrogen typically has 0 neutrons.
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Chlorine-35 has eighteen neutrons. Chlorine-36 has nineteen neutrons. Chlorine-37 has twenty neutrons. ....... etc.
Chlorine has 18 neutrons.
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
The number of neutrons in chlorine is 18 (no of neutrons=atomic mass-no of protons=35-17=18)
It depends on which isotope of chlorine you're interested in.
There should be 17, since the atomic number is how many protons (of which there are the same amount of neutrons). However, if it is an unstable isotope, it would have more neutrons.
Chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 have a different number of neutrons. Chlorine 35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine 37 has 20 neutrons. This causes them to have different atomic masses.
There are two main isotopes of chlorine. Every chlorine atom has 17 electrons where there are 18 and 20 neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 respectively.
18
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........
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
Chlorine typically has 18 neutrons in its nucleus, which accounts for its atomic weight of 35.45 g/mol.
