The two isotopes of chlorine are the same in that they have the same number of protons, which is the atomic number. The neutral atoms of each isotope also have the same number of electrons as protons. They differ in the number of neutrons.

What do you call atoms of the same element such as Chlorine which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?

Isotopes.


Is the mass of all chlorine atoms always 35.47?

No, the mass of chlorine atoms is not always 35.47. Chlorine has two stable isotopes, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, with respective abundances of approximately 75.77% and 24.23%. The average atomic mass of chlorine, taking into account these isotopes and their abundance, is approximately 35.45.


When two atoms have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons what are these atoms?

They are isotopes of each other.

What do the isotypes of chlorine or copper have in common?

Both chlorine and copper have multiple isotopes, meaning they have different varieties of the element with varying numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. These isotopes of chlorine or copper have different atomic masses, but they share the same number of protons, which is what defines them as the element chlorine or copper.


Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are examples of what?

They are examples of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. The only naturally occurring isotope of iodine is stable iodine-127. Iodine-131 is used in medicine to monitor thyroid gland functioning, to treat goitre and thyroid cancer, and to locate tumours of the brain and of the liver.


Why does chlorine have fractional atomic mass?

Chlorine naturally occurs with mixed isotopes, and the number is an average of the atomic mass of those isotopes, in the proportion they are present. The isotopes have the same atomic number (protons), but their mass number can be different due to the presence of a different number of neutrons. These atoms of an element having a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that different numbers of?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This leads to variations in atomic mass for isotopes of the same element.


Where does the atomic mass of chlorine come from?

The atomic mass of chlorine is calculated based on the average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine and their relative abundance in nature. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus, which affects their atomic mass. The average atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.45 atomic mass units.


Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?

No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.


isotopes are the same as ions?

Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.
