QuestionDetermine the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the isotope $\frac{35}{17} \mathrm{Cl}$.

Studdy Solution
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the isotope is17.
$$Number\, of\, electrons = Number\, of\, protons =17$$So, the isotope $\frac{35}{17} \mathrm{Cl}$ has17 protons,18 neutrons, and17 electrons.
