Question

Draw the isotopes of Chlorine. How do these isotopes differ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are bothisotopes of the element chlorine. ... An atom of chlorine-35 contains 18 neutrons (17 protons + 18 neutrons = 35 particles in the nucleus) while an atom of chlorine-37 contains 20 neutrons (17 protons + 20 neutrons = 37 particles in the nucleus).

Answer 2

Isotopes of chlorine.

• There are primarily two principal stable isotopes present in chlorine are ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl.
• An atom of ³⁵Cl consists of 18 neutrons and 17 protons while ³⁷Cl consists of 20 neutrons and 17 protons.
• The abundance of ³⁵Cl in nature is about 75.77% while the abundance of ³⁷Cl in nature is 24.23%.
• Both the isotopes chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are stable in nature.
• Both of the isotopes also have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei which is 17.
• Since the chemical properties of elements are dependent on the electrons therefore the isotopes have the same chemical properties. Only the difference is their abundance.
