Complete the chart:
Name of the element | Symbol of the element | Atomic number | Mass number | No. of protons | No. of electrons | No. of neutrons | Electronic configuration | ||
Chlorine | 17 | 35 | 18 | K = 2 | L = 8 | M = 7 |
Identify the atomic symbol of Chlorine:
The chemical symbol of Chlorine =
Calculate the number of electrons and protons:
In a neutral atom,
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Thus,
Number of protons = 17
Number of electrons = 17
Thus, the complete table is:
Name of the element | Symbol of the element | Atomic number | Mass number | No. of protons | No. of electrons | No. of neutrons | Electronic configuration | ||
Chlorine | Cl | 17 | 35 | 17 | 17 | 18 | K = 2 | L = 8 | M = 7 |
