Because of a similarity in their chemical properties, the two isotopes of chlorine have the same atomic number and chemical properties. The arrangement of elements is on the basis of increasing atomic number and the chemical properties depend on the atomic number.
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.
