Answer:

See below.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The two isotopes are Cl-35 and Cl-37.

The average atomic mass (35.45 u) is closer to 35 u, so most of the atoms are Cl-35.

mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

          A          =               p                +               n

         35         =              17                +               n

                   n = 35 – 17

                   n = 18

∴ Most chlorine atoms contain 18 neutrons.

nadya68 [22]
74 is the answer u find it by subtracting the protons(atomic number) from atomic mas, so basically... 127-53 =74 neutrons

Which of the following is one part of a chemical formula for a molecule?
solniwko [45]

D

Explanation:

An example is a chemical formula of a compound NH₄NO₃

These subscript numbers mean that there four (4) hydrogen atoms and three (3) oxygen atoms in the molecules.

A Lewis dot diagram for the molecule is used to show the electrons of the atoms, and their interactions – such as in covalent bonding- in the molecule

Why the statement all atoms of one element have the same mass is false
White raven [17]
Some elements have isotopes which have a different number of neutrons, and this means they have different masses.
