Liquids can flow because their particles can move over each other. When water is poured into a glass, the particles of water move over each other and into the corners of the glass.

The atomic mass of chlorine is listed as 35.454 amu on the periodic table. It has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl
Fynjy0 [20]
X=percentage of Cl-35
(1-x)=percentage of Cl-35

35(x)+37(1-x)=35.454
35x+37-37x=35.454
-2x=35.454-37
-2x=-1.546
x=-1.546/(-2)
x=0.773

0.773=77.3/100=77.3%

(1-x)=1-0.773=0.227

0.227=22.7/100=22.7%

answer: the percentages are: 77.3% of Cl-35 and 22.7% of Cl-37.
