Question

would you place the two isotopes of chlorine, cl-35and cl-37in different slot because of their different atomic masses or in the same slot because their chemical properties are the same. justify your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Isotopes of chlorine are placed in two same slots in the Mendeleev 's periodic table because they have different atomic masses...same slots are alotted to the compounds with same chemical properties..their electronic configuration is also same...

also the modern periodic table is based on atomic numbers and not atomic masses so they will be placed in the same slots....

Hope it helps you!
