The two main isotopes of chlorine are chlorine-35 and chlorine-37. The difference lies in their atomic mass, with chlorine-35 having 17 protons and 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons. This causes a difference in atomic weight and stability between the two isotopes.
The main difference between the atomic structure of chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 isotopes is in their atomic mass. Chlorine-35 has 17 protons and 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 has 17 protons and 20 neutrons. This difference in neutron count gives chlorine-37 a slightly higher atomic mass compared to chlorine-35.
Chlorine has a lot of different isotopes but the 2 stable ones are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37
Yes, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are both isotopes of chlorine and have similar chemical properties. However, due to the difference in atomic weight, they may exhibit slight variations in reactivity in certain reactions.
Chlorine-35 is the most abundant isotope of chlorine.

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 means that chlorine-35 has 18 neutrons in its nucleus, while chlorine-37 has 20 neutrons.
There are different isotopes of the element. Isotopes are atoms of an element that have different amounts of protons, so the isotopes with more protons weigh more because there is more mass in the atom. Some isotopes are more common than others, and the atomic mass is a weighted AVERAGE of all the isotopes of that element. On most elements there is a large difference between the most common and lesser common isotopes, but chlorine has 2 isotopes that are very close. So the average ends up between the two numbers. The actual weight of 1 atom will never be something.5 because protons and neutrons weigh 1amu and electrons weigh 0. But in most cases the sample of a chemical you use will be a mixture of the isotopes, so the .5 weight will be correct.
They are both atoms, both isotopes, and both have 17 protons :)
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%.
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. These then means that 37Cl is more radioactive that 35Cl
Isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass. This difference is due to different number of neutrons in them. That is why the mass of chlorine comes to be 35.5, a fraction.

It is not. It is 35.453. 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 has two extra neutrons. This works out to an average of about 35.5 or what is stated in the question.
