Elemental chlorine is a diatomic gas at room temperature.
Since chlorine is an element it is simply composed of chlorine. More specifically chlorine in its elemental form is made up of molecules of two chlorine atoms each.
Chlorine is not found in its elemental form as chlorine gas, being a halogen, is highly reactive. The most common compound of chlorine is sodium chloride or common salt. This can be found dissolved in sea water.
Chlorine is a gas at room temperature; in nature chlorine exist in many chloride minerals or as hydrogen chloride in volcanoes gases.
In small quantities. "Chlorine" for pools is actually a chlorine-containing compound, not pure elemental chlorine. Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) is one such compound.
Yes, this is essentially correct. We don't find chlorine in nature in an uncombined state, but when we make chlorine gas, it appears as the diatomic molecule Cl2.
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.
Elemental Chlorine
In mineral, not in pure elemental form. Many compounds containing chloride exist.
No. Chlorine is a chemical element. In its elemental form it is highly toxic.
In its elemental form chlorine takes the form of covalently bound molecules.
Chlorine is an element; it contains only chlorine atoms. It its elemental form it forms diatomic molecules.
Since chlorine is an element it is simply composed of chlorine. More specifically chlorine in its elemental form is made up of molecules of two chlorine atoms each.
Elemental chlorine is caustic and toxic. Humans can safely consume chemical compounds which contain chlorine atoms, such as salt, but not elemental chlorine.
Yes, two chlorine atoms can bond, to form Cl2, which is the elemental form of chlorine.. The individual atoms do not gain or lose electrons but share them forming a covalent bond.
Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in swimming pools?Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.
Iodine doesn't exist in nature in elemental form.
