Chlorine is one of the most commonly found elements in nature. It combines with other elements to sustain life and the natural process of our environment, and our way of life. It can be found in slat from the ocean, which covers around seven tenths of the planet. Chlorine and other elements, when combined, can produce a pain killer the is over 200 time more powerful and effective then morphine and has absolutely no side effects. Chlorine contributes greatly to the medical and industrial world.

Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by a Swedish scientist by the name of Carl Willam Scheele. The name of the element, chlorine. comes from the Greek word Khloros, meaning green. Scheele, who discovered chlorine, found the element when he soaked some powdered pryolusite in some liquid that then, had come to be known as muriatic acid. There was quite a commotion between the powder and the acid that was coincidentally, and much to Scheele's surprise, was the creation of the element, Chlorine. It was acknowledged as an element on the periodic table in 1810, by Sir Humphrey Davy. Small amounts of chlorine can now be made in most laboratories by combining hydraulic acid and mangeese dioxide. |
Bleaches based on chlorine are known as "oxidizing agents." These bleaches are made by skimming chlorine gas by dry calcium chlorate, and when you mixed with water, the bleach is complete. This bleach is sold in a store near you.
Chlorine may also serve to be an incredible well working water purification tool.

Chlorine's atomic number is 17, therefore it has 17 electrons and 17 protons. The chlorine atom usually contains about 18 neutrons. The atom has only 7 valence electrons, one away from filleing out the outer most energy level. Chlorine's oxidation state is positive/negitive 1,3,5 and 7. Chlorine's atomic weight is 35.453 and it's symbol is capitol C and lower case l, or Cl. The chlorine atom's electron configuration is: [NE]3s 3p. It's density at 293K is 0.003214g/cm and it's melting point is at 172.22K. Chlorine is a gas yellowish green gas at room tempurature and is one of other elements in the Halogens group on the periodic table. It is in the third period on the periodic table. Chlorine is obtained by electrosis and by the actions of oxidizing agents. Chlorine combines directly with all other elements. |
