result 1 shows that: 3

 Atoms have nuclei

 Nuclei are tiny and dense

 Nuclei are positive

03.1
result 2 shows that: 1
 Most of an atom is free space /
there is a lot of space between
the nucleus and the electron
shells

similarities: 2
 both isotopes have the same
number of protons / 17 protons

 both isotopes have the same

number of electrons / 17
electrons
03.2 differences:
1
 one isotope has more neutrons /
2 more neutrons

or

 one isotope has 18 neutrons,

the other has 20 neutrons

chemical properties depend on the 1

electron configuration / arrangement
03.3
both isotopes have the same electron
configuration / arrangement 1

average

03.4 there must be more of chlorine–35

because the relative atomic mass is 1
closer to 35 than 37
