Chlorine is the name of the 17th element. In its pure form it is a toxic green gas.
Chloride is the ion formed when chlorine gains an electron, giving it a negative charge or otherwise refers to compound in which chlorine is in its 1- oxidation state (e.g. methyl chloride).

∙ 15y agoYes. Fluorine is a group seven element, just like chlorine. They are in group seven because each has seven valence electrons, which means each has seven electrons in the outermost layer of the atom. Because of having the same number of electrons in the outermost layer, fluorine and chlorine participate in similar chemical reactions and share similar properties.

∙ 12y agoFluorine is the atomic element itself. It is a gas, and is never found in it's pure state in nature.
Fluorides are bonds between fluorine and other elements, a very common one being stannous fluoride, the "tooth decay preventative" in toothpaste.

Which element is a member of the halogens family?
flourine, chlorine, iodine, bromine, astatine
Is Tetrafluoroethane is NON-CFC gas?
Yes. Tetrafluoroethane is a non-CFC gas. CFCs are chlorfluorocarbons which contain both chlorine and fluorine. Tetrafluoroethane does not contain chlorine.
Do halogen names typically end in -ine?
Yes, they all end in "ine": Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine.
What is the most reactive non-metal?
The most reactive non-metal is fluorine. It is often nicknamed the 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' of the elements because of its reactivity. NB . Oxygen ,which we breath, is also a very reactive element. If it wasn't so reactive we would probably die.
What are 8 diatomic elements?
The 7 elements that readily form diatomic molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and Iodine. Astatine might theoretically form diatomic molecules, but it is so rare and radioactive that it is hard to study.
Is the bond between fluorine and chlorine nonpolar covalent?
The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and for fluorine it is 3.98. The difference in electronegativities is 0.54, so the bond between fluorine and oxygen is polar covalent.
How does fluorine's electronegativity compare to the electronegativity of oxygen and chlorine?
Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and chlorine. There are many scales used to measure electronegativity. Each is different. Oxygen and chlorine usually have an electronegativity value between 3.2 and 3.5 depending on the scale. Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4, the highest number on the scale. This means that the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen or chlorine is between 0.5 and 0.8 depending on the scale. This is the amount necessary to form a polar covalent bond.
Which element has characteristics most similar to fluorine?
Many similarities exist between fluorine and chlorine.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine?
no
What is more reatice fluorine or chlorine?
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.
What is the siblings of fluorine?
Fluorine is similar to chlorine.
Which has the largest radius Fluorine or Chlorine?
Chlorine.
What type of bonds form between fluorine and fluorine?
Fluorine's electronegativity is 3.98. The difference between two fluorine atoms is 0, so the bond between two fluorine atoms is nonpolar covalent.
Is fluorine similar properties to chlorine?
YES, very similar properties. Both Fluorine and Chlorine are in Group (or Family) 17. Fluorine is in Period 2 and Chlorine is Period 3
Which is more electro negative fluorine or chlorine?
Fluorine.
What to fluorine and chlorine have in common?
they are both used in everyday life. fluorine{tooth paste} and chlorine{bleach}
How is the electron structure similar in fluorine and chlorine?
Electronic configuration: - Chlorine: [Ne]3s23p5 - Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
