Answer:
Explanation:
Atomic mass is the ratio of the mass of the average of all isotopes of an element. Chlorine exists in the form of 2 isotopes,
17
35
Cl and
17
37
Cl. Approximately 1 atom out of every four is of
17
37
Cl
hence the relative atomic mass = 35.5
Chlorine exists in nature as (Cl
2
) Thus, 2 atoms of chlorine shared one electron each from the outermost shell of their orbits and form (Cl
2
) molecule. Thus, atomicity of chlorine is 2
