Answer 2

The correct option for Chlorine is Z 17, A 35.5 (Option a)

• Chlorine is a member of the halogen family, Group 17.
• Its atomic number is 17 and is represented by Z.
• Since Chlorine exists in the form of two isotopes with mass numbers 35 and 36, so the mass number of chlorine is taken as the average of the two which is equal to 35.5.
• So, the mass number, A = 35.5
