∙ 15y agoSince the Atomic Mass of chlorine, 35.45 is closer to 35 than it is to Chlorine 37,than Chlorine 35 must be the most abundant isotope. Chlorine 35 does in fact account for 75.53% of the earth's chlorine. The full calculation is: (0.7553)(34.96885)+(0.2447)(36.96590)=35.45amu

∙ 16y agoAs 35Cl and 37Cl are both stable isotopes of chlorine, the answer lies in the way they were created. If we assume that all the chemical elements through iron were formed by fusion in stars during the lives of those stars, and that the other elements up through uranium were formed during super novae, it falls on the astrophysicist to come up with an explanation as to how the chlorine was formed by fusion during a star's life and then what happens to that chlorine during the cataclysmic nova event.

Which is the most abundant isotope for hydrogen?
Tritium is the most abundant hydrogen isotope
Which isotope occurs in greater abundance in chlorine?
Chlorine-35 is the most abundant isotope of chlorine.
Why is boron-11 the most abundant isotope in nature?
Can't tell because it is NOT true
What is the most common isotope of neon?
Na -23 is the most abundant isotope, because the atomic massfor Na on the periodical table of elements is 22.99 and 22.99 isclosest to 23.
What element has the atomic number of 45?
Se-78 isotope will have 44 neutrons Br-79 isotopes will have 44 neutrons
Which is the most abundant isotope for hydrogen?
Tritium is the most abundant hydrogen isotope
What is the most abundant isotope for arsenic?
Arsenic has only one stable isotope 75As
What is the most abundant isotope of oxygen?
There is only one abundant isotope of fluorine and that is 19FFluorine-19 is the most common isotope, its abundance is classed as 100% because no other Fluorine isotopes exist in significant quantities. It is also the only stable Fluorine isotope.
Which isotope occurs in greater abundance in chlorine?
Chlorine-35 is the most abundant isotope of chlorine.
What is the most abundant radioactive isotope?
An isotope of cobalt is used to to kill cancer cells. The isotope americium-241 is used in smoke detectors.
What element which has the most abundant isotope which has 20 neutrons?
Potassium I reckon
Are all elements are composed of atoms that cannot be divided?
No. All atoms, except the most abundant isotope of hydrogen, can be divided into the subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons. The most abundant hydrogen isotope does not have neutrons.
What is francium's most abundant isotope?
Francium has no stable isotopes. That means it doesn't really have a "most abundant" isotope; they're all pretty much nonexistent. There are trace amounts of 223Fr in uranium minerals, because it's a decay product of 227Ac (which is itself a decay product in the decay chain of uranium).
What is the mass number of the most common isotope of carbon?
As the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, the most abundant isotope of this atmospheric gas must have 7 neutrons (14.007 - 7 = about 7), and this will make nitrogen-14 that isotope that is most abundant.
The naturally occurring isotopes of sulfur have masses of 32 33 34 and 36 amu. The atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06 amu. Which of these isotopes is the most abundant?
The isotope with a mass of 32 amu is the most abundant. This can be determined by comparing the atomic mass of sulfur (32.06 amu) to the masses of the isotopes. Since the atomic mass is closest to 32 amu, this isotope is the most abundant.
Why is boron-11 the most abundant isotope in nature?
Can't tell because it is NOT true
How many protons electrons and neutrons have nitrogen?
The most abundant isotope has 7 each.
