Explanation:
different slot because regarding mandelliv periodic table it says that property of elements the periodic function of their atomic masses..... not atomic numbers (as given in modern periodic table)

In the periodic table of Mendeleev, both the isotopes of chlorine, i.e., Cl-35 and Cl-37 would be placed in different slots.
- Mendeleev's periodic table is based on the fact that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses.
- Since Cl-35 and Cl-37 have different atomic masses, so they must be placed in different slots.
- But due to their similar chemical properties (as it is a more reliable property), they may also be placed in the same slot.
