A. Atoms of 35Cl and 37Cl have the same chemical properties. (Assuming that you’re speaking about the difference between Cl isotopes)

Explanation:

Neutrons do not have any affect over the chemical properties of atoms. Protons affect the characteristics that an element pocesses (if you change the amount of protons you change the element.) Electrons affect the chemical properties of the atom.
