Question

what is the correct number of protons electrons and neutrons in the isotope 36cl respectively

Answer 1

Solution :-

Cl has atomic number 17

atomic number is nothing but the number of protons

36 is the mass number

mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons

so the numbeer of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                                             = 36 - 17

                                            = 19

electrons in neutral atom are same as number of protons so it have 17 electrons

So

Protons = 17

electrons = 17

neutrons = 19
