Best Answer

The element that has 17 protons is Chlorine, or Cl. The particular isotope of Cl that has 21 neutrons is called 38Cl, and is radioactive, having a half-life of 37.24 minutes. In this particular case, the number of electrons of this isotope are greater than its number of protons by one. That means that this isotope is also an ion, and is labeled as 38Cl-.

How many protons electrons neutrons does sulfur have?

16 protons, and if it isn't an ion ("isn't an ion" means that it has no electric charge), it has 16 electrons. on average, sulfur has 16.065 neutrons, but that's averaged out, so it's a weird number. let's just say most sulfur has 16 neutrons.


How do you decide a element is a isotope or ion?

An isotope has a different number of neutrons and therefore a different atomic mass. An ion has a different number of electrons from protons and therefore carries an electric charge
