Question

The teacher took 2 beakers and said, "I am adding Cl-35 in the first beaker and adding Cl-37 in the second beaker. What do you think will be the valency of the two types of the chlorine atoms?"

• A. Cl-35 has more valency than Cl-37
• B. Cl-35 has less valency than Cl-37
• C. equal
• D. It cannot be determined.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

equal

The valency of the two types of chlorine atoms is the same because these are only isotopes of chlorine in which the valency does not change.
