Question

35Cl and 37Cl are two isotopes of chlorine. a) what is the numbers of protons. neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the atom is electrically neutral? b) what is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the atom is electrically neutral? c) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the ion has a -1 charge? d) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the ion has a -1 charge? e) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the ion has a 2 charge? f) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the ion has a 2 charge?

Explanation / Answer

Answers for questions from a to f:

a) What is the numbers of protons. neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the atom is electrically neutral?

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 18

Electrons = 17

b) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the atom is electrically neutral?

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 20

Electrons = 17

c) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the ion has a -1 charge?

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 18

Electrons = 18

d) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the ion has a -1 charge?

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 20

Electrons = 18

e) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 35Cl if the ion has a 2 charge? (charge assumed to be -2 charge since no sign of mentioned in the question).

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 18

Electrons = 19

f) What is the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in 37Cl if the ion has a 2 charge? (charge assumed to be -2 charge since no sign of mentioned in the question).

Protons = 17

Neutrons = 20

Electrons = 19
