Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager

Lately i noticed that Google chrome unlike Firefox spawns process instead of threads for tabs.But, this time, I had just had one tab open in google chrome, and it spawned 12 process. Is this normal? If yes, why does it need so many process? Does the extensions need individual process?

Extensions are run in their own processes. In Chrome's Wrench menu, you can go to Tools → Task Manager to see what all the processes are being used for.
