To determine the number of neutrons in an atom, we subtract the number of protons (which is the atomic number) from the atomic mass.

In this case, the atomic mass of chlorine (Cl) is given as 35 amu and the atomic number (which is equal to the number of protons and electrons) is 17.

So, the number of neutrons in chlorine can be calculated as 35 (atomic mass) - 17 (atomic number) = 18.

Therefore, chlorine has 18 neutrons.
