Would you place the two isotopes of chlorine, Cl-35 and Cl-37 in different slots because of their different atomic masses or in the same slot because their chemical properties are the same ? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

These are to be placed in the same slot because they have the same atomic numbers (Z = 17). Their electronic configuration are also same and as a result have same chemical properties.
