Chlorine exists in two isotopic forms `Cl-37` and Cl-35 but its atomic mass is 35.5. this indicates the ratio of Cl-37 and Cl-35 is approximately

A

`1:2`

B

`1:1`

C

`1:3`

D

`3:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If Cl-37 and Cl_35 exist in the ratio of 1L3, then average atomic mass comes out to be 35.5.
