Answer:

hello . proton:17 electron:18 neutron :18

Step-by-step explanation:

it's obvious and you must memorise that Cl has 17 protons .

because it has one negative so electrons which are negative should be one more than protons I mean 18

neutron doesn't need to look at it here

electron shows the answer.

hope u understand

if u have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
