Question

write number of neutrons in37 17 CI

Answer 1

In 37Cl17, 37 is the mass number & 17 is the atomic number.

Chlorine atoms contain 17 protons so the atomic number of Chlorine atom is 17.

Atomic number = number of protons

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

37 = 17+ number of neutrons

Number of neutrons= 37-17= 20

Hence , number of neutrons in 37Cl17 = 20
