Question

how many paired electrons are in chlorine?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Subsequently, one may also ask, what is the number of electrons in chlorine?

17

Additionally, how many neutrons and electrons does chlorine have?

NameChlorineAtomic Mass35.453 atomic mass unitsNumber of Protons17Number of Neutrons18Number of Electrons17

In this regard, what is the number of protons and electrons in chlorine?

So for your question, the Periodic Table tells us that chlorine has an Atomic Number of 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons.

How many unpaired electrons does chlorine have?

17

Answer 2

• As we know that there are 17 pairs of electrons in chlorine.

• In chlorine 17 protons are present and it consists of 18 neutrons.

• Chlorine consists of 2 electrons in the first shell, in the second shell 8 electrons are present, and in the outer shell, 7 electrons are present i.e 2,8,7.

• On the basis of the Lewis formula, there are 1 unpaired electron and 6 paired electrons in chlorine.
