Question

Calculate the no. of electrons ,protons and neutrons in chloride ion and potassium ion.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Again, it is more energy-efficient for chlorine to gain one electron than to lose seven. Therefore, it tends to gain an electron to create an ion with 17 protons, 17 neutrons, and 18 electrons, giving it a net negative (–1) charge. It is now referred to as a chloride ion.
