what difference,if any are expected between the chemical reactions of Cl 35 and Cl 37?
I'm not sure how to attempt this question =/

The only difference between Cl 35 and Cl 37 is the number of neutrons in their nuclei. Cl 35 has 18 neutrons, while Cl 37 has 20 neutrons.
Due to the difference in the number of neutrons, Cl 35 and Cl 37 may have slightly different properties and behaviors in chemical reactions. For example, Cl 35 may react more readily with certain elements compared to Cl 37 due to its smaller mass and different electronic configuration.
Yes, both Cl 35 and Cl 37 are halogens and have similar reactivity patterns. They both tend to gain an electron to form a stable -1 ion and participate in redox reactions.
The isotopes of chlorine, specifically Cl 35 and Cl 37, may have slightly different reactivity patterns due to their different masses. This can affect the rate of reaction, the strength of bonds formed, and the overall stability of the resulting compounds.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in different atomic masses and may have slight differences in properties and behaviors. In the case of Cl 35 and Cl 37, they are both isotopes of chlorine with slightly different reactivities due to the difference in their number of neutrons.
