The isotope Chlorine-37 (or denoted as 37Cl) has 20 neutrons per atom. 37 is the mass number (sum of number of neutrons and protons per atom) and we know that the atomic number for Cl irregardless of whichever isotope is 17, which means all Cl atoms have 17 protons. Therefore the number of neutrons for Chlorine-37 is 37 - 17 = 20.
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Chlorine-35 has eighteen neutrons. Chlorine-36 has nineteen neutrons. Chlorine-37 has twenty neutrons. ....... etc.
No, an atom of chlorine with 20 protons would not be chlorine-37. Chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons, totaling 37 particles in its nucleus. The number of electrons in a neutral chlorine-37 atom would be 17, not 20.
Chlorine exist as two isotopes(same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons), although there are traces of one more but we're not to sure. ~70% of Chlorine is Chlorine-35 which contains 17 electrons and 18 neutrons ~30% of Chlorine is Chlorine-37 which contains 17 electrons and 20 neutrons and ≤1% of Chlorine-36........
A chlorine-35 atom has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons, altogether 52 atomic particles. Chlorine-37 has two more neutrons and it has 54 atomic particles.
The mass of Cl-37 is greater than that of Cl-35. Because Cl-37 has two neutrons more than Cl-35.
Chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 have a different number of neutrons. Chlorine 35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine 37 has 20 neutrons. This causes them to have different atomic masses.
The main difference between chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 is their atomic mass. Chlorine-35 has an atomic mass of 35 amu, while chlorine-37 has an atomic mass of 37 amu. This is due to the different number of neutrons in their nuclei: chlorine-35 has 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 has 20 neutrons.

No, an atom of chlorine with 20 protons would not be chlorine-37. Chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons, totaling 37 particles in its nucleus. The number of electrons in a neutral chlorine-37 atom would be 17, not 20.
The two isotopes of chlorine, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, have different mass numbers because they have a different number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. Chlorine-35 has 18 neutrons and chlorine-37 has 20 neutrons, leading to their distinct mass numbers of 35 and 37, respectively.
An atom with 17 protons and 20 neutrons would be chlorine-37, which has a total atomic mass of 37 (17 protons + 20 neutrons).
The number of protons in Chlorine is relative to its atomic number of 17. The amount of protons will not change, or will become a different element. The 37 refers to the amount of nucleons in the element. The total nucleons is calculated by adding the amount of protons and neutrons, so if we know there are 17 protons, 37-17= 20 neutrons. There are 17 protons and 20 neutrons in Cl-37.
There are two main isotopes of chlorine. Every chlorine atom has 17 electrons where there are 18 and 20 neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 respectively.
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.
