Answer:

I believe the answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

I could be wrong but in order for Chlorine 35 and Chlorine 37 to be different would they have to have a different amount of electrons? I am sorry if this is wrong. I took Chemistry a few years ago.

Answer:

The number after the name 'chlorine' is called the mass number. The mass number is a tally of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Since all atoms of chlorine contain 17 protons, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 differ in the number of neutrons each one has.

Step-by-step explanation:

So its true lol
