The total numbers of neutrons,protons,and electrons in ³⁵Cl^- are ________. A)17 neutrons,35 protons,36 electrons B)35 neutrons,17 protons,18 electrons C)18 neutrons,17 protons,16 electrons D)18 neutrons,17 protons,18 electrons E)17 neutrons,17 protons,17 electrons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The notation describes a chlorine ion (Cl) with a mass number (A) of 35 (17 protons + 18 neutrons) and an atomic number (Z) of 17 (indicating 17 protons). Since it's a negatively charged ion (indicated by the "-"), it has one extra electron, making the total 18 electrons.
