Q4. Chlorine-35 & chlorine-37 are called isotopes. Use these two examples to explain what is isotopes.
Isotopes- different atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Chlorine-35 consists of 17 protons & 18 neutrons, while chlorine-37 consists of 17 protons & 20 neutrons. They have the same number of protons but they contain different number of neutrons,
hence they are isotopes.
hence they are isotopes.
