Select the correct answer. given the data in the table, what is the average atomic mass of chlorine? a. 34.969 amu b. 35.453 amu c. 35.9675 amu d. 36.966 amu

B. 35.453 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of chlorine as seen from the periodic table is  35.453 amu.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
