what is the atomic number for the isotope of chlorine in which A = 37

Answer 1

Hi Kendall

Isotopes of any element are created by the addition of neutrons. The Atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus. Chlorine has an atomic number of 17, Creating isotopes does not change the atomic number, because that would change the identity of the element.

So, the answer is 17.
