Question

Just Isotopes :)

I was asked to determine the element.
The given was 17 protons.

by that I was able to determine it is Chlorine.
P+ = 17
e- = 17
n = 18
Atomic no. is 17
Mass no. is 35 .

So how do I write it ?

Answer 1

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons. So 17 protons means atomic number 17 that in turn means its chlorine.

Answer 2

Also mass number is the sum of no of neutrons and no of protons. S number of neutrons = 35-17=18

Answer 3

Cool, is the number of electrons are corrrect? Because most of my friends said it was 18 electrons and wrote it as CL^-1

Answer 4

No of protons is equal to number of electrons in an neutral atom. According to ur question electron =17

Answer 5

*a neutral

Answer 6

\(\huge\ ^{35}_{17}Cl\)

Answer 7

Thanks man :)
