Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Concept:

Protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral) are present in the nucleus (centre) of an atom. The electrons, which are negatively charged particles, circle the nucleus's centre.

Find:

The number of electrons, protons, and neutrons in chlorine.

Solution:

The atomic number of chlorine is $17$.

The mass of the chlorine is $35.5$.

The number of electrons in chlorine = The number of protons in chlorine = the atomic number of chlorine.

The number of electrons in chlorine = $17$

The number of protons in chlorine = $17$

The number of neutrons in chlorine = The mass of the chlorine - The atomic number of chlorine

The number of neutrons in chlorine = $35-17$

The number of neutrons in chlorine = $18$

Hence, the number of electrons, protons, and neutrons are $17,17,18$.
