Chlorine-37 has more neutrons in it than Chlorine 35
Neutrons.
Chlorine has a lot of different isotopes but the 2 stable ones are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37
Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.
A nucleus of the Cl-37 isotope contains two more neutrons than a nucleus of the Cl-35 isotope.
The electron structure of the two isotopes is the same. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus- 37Cl has two more than 35Cl
Chlorine-37 has more neutrons in it than Chlorine 35
Isotopes of Chlorine-35 and 37 have different atomic wt. but same atomic number. And in the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged in order of their atomic number AND NOT atomic wt. hence, Chlorine-35 and 37 occupy same place in the periodic table.
35,36 and 37. Chlorine has three stable isotopes chlorine-35, chlorine-36, chlorine 37 the most abundant of which are chlorine-35 and chlorine-37.
Chlorine atom has two isotopes - with Mass Number = 35 and 37. One Chlorine molecule can be any of three combinations - 35+35 = 70, 37+37=74 and 35+37 = 72.
Their number of neutrons. Chlorine 35 and Chlorine 37, What is the difference? Basically, they are both chlorine. They are not distinguished as 2 different elements because they consist of the same number of protons. The atomic number, aka proton number, is what differs between elements. The 2 of them are isotopes of the same element. The number 35 and 37 represents their mass number, which is the number of protons + number of neutrons. Hence, we can see that Chlorine 37 has 2 more neutrons compared to Chlorine 35. What is different then? Isotopes of the same element are identical. A heavier isotope might tend to react slower than a lighter one, which in this case, Chlorine 37 is the heavier one. Isotopes with more neutrons also have better nuclear stability. Isotopes also differ in abundance in nature. Chlorine 35 has an abundance of 75.53%. As chlorine only exist in 2 isotopes, the rest of chlorine found will be Chlorine 37, meaning that it will have an abundance percentage of 24.47%.
Neutrons.
They're the same, they both have 17 protons and 17 electrons. The only difference is that Cl-35 has 18 neutrons, whereas Cl-37 has 20. Both have the electron configuration of [Ne] 2s2 3p5
The mass of Cl-37 is greater than that of Cl-35. Because Cl-37 has two neutrons more than Cl-35.
Chlorine has a lot of different isotopes but the 2 stable ones are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37
Atomic number is unique to an element. Since both Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37 has atomic number of 17, they are both Chlorine. However they have different atomic mass (caused by different number of neutrons in the atom) thus they are called isotope.
A nucleus of the Cl-37 isotope contains two more neutrons than a nucleus of the Cl-35 isotope.
