An atom of chlorine-35 contains 18 neutrons (17 protons+18 neutrons,=35 particles in the nucleus) While an atom of chlorine-37 contains 20 neutrons (17protons+20 neutrons=37particles in the nucleus).Adding or removing a neutron of an Atom's nucleus creates isotopes of a particular element.

20 neutrons
