As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Chlorine. But how do we know how much does a Cl atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Cl, we can open any periodic table and search for Chlorine.
In the case of Chlorine the answer is 35,4527. However there is a lot of funny facts about Chlorine that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?

Sources
Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is its most common compound. Commercial quantities are produced by electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (seawater or brine from salt mines).
