Chlorine is NOT an inert gas. "Inert" means unreactive. Chlorine is a very reactive and very poisonous gas. It was used as a weapon in the First World War; it was known as Mustard Gas.

Will chlorine damage gold?
No. Gold relatively inert.
Which is more reactive chlorine or argon?
Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of filled orbitals. Chlorine is highly reactive as it requires one more electron to gain octet.
What happens if you mix chlorine argon and sodium together?
Just by mixing there will be no reaction between any of these. However if suitable energy is supplied then sodium may combine with chlorine to form sodium chloride. Argon is chemically inert and does not react.
Which is more stable neutral chlorine atoms or chlorine ions Why?
Chlorine ion is more stable because it has got the maximum number(8) of electrons possible in its valence shell, it is known as the octet. When an ion achieves octet, it has got the electronic configuration of a noble gas, which is inert and very stable.
What atom would be created if chlorine fused with helium?
Helium is an inert gas meaning that it will not combine with other elements or compounds. More specifically, chlorine will not bond with helium. But, if it did, as could happen in a supernova explosion, since chlorine is 17 on the periodic chart, and helium is 2, when they fuse they would create an atom of potassium which is 19.
How long till chlorine becomes inert in canal?
Chlorine never becomes inert.
Will chlorine damage gold?
No. Gold relatively inert.
Which is more reactive chlorine or argon?
Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of filled orbitals. Chlorine is highly reactive as it requires one more electron to gain octet.
What category is bromine in?
Bromine belongs to inert/rear/noble gas and other family member iodine ,fluorine and chlorine.

Which is more stable neutral chlorine atoms of chlorine ions?
Chlorine ion is more stable because it has got the maximum number(8) of electrons possible in its valence shell, it is known as the octet. When an ion achieves octet, it has got the electronic configuration of a noble gas, which is inert and very stable.
Is chlorine more reactive than sulfur?
Yes. Generally reactivity increases as you move to the right within a period of the Periodic Table of nonmetals. This of course does not include the inert gases in the last column.

Besides making the chlorine is there any positive affect to having salt in the water?
softer water, easier on your eyes and swimsuits due to the fact that pure chlorine is being made without any acid or inert ingredients. it produces a perfect pH right from the unit. never have to buy chlorine or shock again! i recomment the autopilot system.
Which of these elements does not bond to form molecules oxygen chlorine neon sulfur?
Neon, it is an inert or noble gas. Because it has a full valence shell, we don't normally see it bonding with anything.
Helium chlorine combined?
they can't combine, but I personally think that it can because all you have to do is put the helium in a needle jar, then poke a small whole so you can poore chlorine in, and then it can make a deadly potion.
