No, electrons only make a negligible contribution to atomic weight. On the Periodic Table the atomic weight listed for most of the elements is the average of that element's isotopes.

Chlorine has 2 common isotopes: Chlorine-35 (75.77% of all chlorine) and chlorine-37 (24.23%) This works out to an average mass of about 35.5.

Why chlorine has atomic weight 35.5 though no chlorine with mass exist in nature?

The atomic weight (not mass) of chlorine is now [35,446; 35,457]. I don't understand "no chlorine with mass exist in nature".


Why atomic weight of chlorine is 35.5 though isotopes of chlorine 35 and 37?

The atomic weight for each element on the periodic table represents a weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element. Because of this, the elements do not have whole-number atomic weights. An exception is the atomic weight for some elements written inside parentheses. These elements do not have stable isotopes and the atomic weight listed is the atomic weight for the longest lived isotope.


According to the Periodic Table of Elements Chlorine has 35.45 protons?

No. chlorine has an atomic weight 0f 35.45. and has an atomic number (number of pprotons) of 17. It has two naturally occuring isotopes chlorine-35 and chlorine -37. It is the presence of these that causes the fractional atomic weight
