Question
$\mathrm{CI}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ have same atomic number or mass number or both? Explain.
✓
Answer
They have same atomic number as well as mass number. It is because they differ in number of electrons but have same number of protons and neutrons. Atomic number (Z) = Number of protons, Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.
