Vedclass · Answer

(C) The number of protons $(p)$ is $17$,which determines the atomic number and the identity of the element (Chlorine).The number of electrons $(e)$ is $18$.The charge on an atom or ion is calculated as: $	ext{Charge} = 	ext{Number of protons} - 	ext{Number of electrons}$.$	ext{Charge} = 17 - 18 = -1$.Since the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons,the species carries a negative charge of $-1$.

The charge on an atom containing $17$ protons,$18$ neutrons,and $18$ electrons is = .......
