Solution

Chlorine has two isotopes; chlorine-37 has mass no 37 and chlorine-35 has mass no 35.
Protons and neutrons together are called nucleons and their sum is denoted by the mass number.
From their mass number we can understand Cl-37 has more nucleons than Cl-35 (37>35)
Therefore, ${}_{17}^{37}{Cl}$ has more nucleons than ${}_{17}^{35}{Cl}$ isotope.
