Sign in to saveAlso known as Cl-37, 37Cl
Chlorine-37 (), is one of the stable isotopes of chlorine, the other being chlorine-35 (). Its nucleus contains 17 protons and 20 neutrons for a total of 37 nucleons. Chlorine-37 accounts for 24.22% of natural chlorine, with chlorine-35 the remaining 75.78%, giving chlorine in bulk an apparent atomic weight of .

Remarkably, solar neutrinos were discovered by an experiment (Homestake Experiment) using a radiochemical method based on chlorine-37 transmutation.
