Concept explainers
To Explain: The difference in number of neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The
Explanation:
Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are the
The number of protons in every chlorine atom is 17. So, Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 contain equal number of protons but not neutrons.
Chlorine-35 has 17 protons. So, it will have 18 neutrons (because 17 protons + 18 neutrons = 35). Similarly, chlorine-37 contains 17 protons. So, it will have 20 neutrons (17 protons + 20 neutrons = 37).
Conclusion:
The chlorine atoms contain 18 neutrons or 20 neutrons that are based on isotopes of chlorine. (Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37).
