The two isotopes of chlorine, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons. This results in the same electronic structure and chemical properties, as chemical reactions primarily involve the interaction of electrons. Since the isotopes behave identically in terms of electron configuration, they do not differ in their chemical reactivity. Therefore, they participate in chemical reactions in the same way.

How are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 a like?

Both of these isotopes have 17 protons in the nucleus of each atom, and their chemical properties are qualitatively identical, with slight quantitative differences due to their different masses.


Do isotopes differ from one another in their chemical properties?

Yes


How are isotopes alike?

Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.


Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?

Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


What is the relationship between atoms ad isotopes?

A natural chemical element may be monoisotopic or has isotopes. Isotopes are atoms but they differ from other isotopes by the number of neutrons. This involve a different atomic mass and different physical properties or sometimes (for light isotopes) different chemical properties. Also, all chemical elements have radioactive, artificial isotopes.


Chlorine has two isotopesstate one way in which atoms of the two isotopes are the same?

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.


Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.


Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?

Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.


How do catalysts differ from inhibitors?

Inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. Catalysts speed up reactions.


Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?

Isotopes differ by the number of protons.


How do isotopes of a given element differ How are they similar?

Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.


Do chemical changes and chemical reactions differ?

No. They are just two different terms that mean the same thing.
