The most common compound including chlorine is sodium chloride, or NaCl. Sodium metal explodes when exposed to water, and chlorine is a poisonous gas, so it's a little strange to realize that we have this compound sitting right there on the dinner table; we call it "salt".
Another fairly common compound is the mixture of hydrogen with chlorine, which we call "hydrochloric acid"; it is commonly used for cleaning. In a very dilute solution, we call it "bleach".
What else can I help you with?
Is chlorine compounds?
No, Chlorine is an element.
What compounds are formed with the element of chlorine?
chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.
What are the element in calcium compounds?
Calcium, Chlorine and Oxygen
Is chlorine is a compound?
chlorine is not a compound. it is an element.
What element has ability to form compound with chlorine?
Sodium can form compounds with chlorine, such as sodium chloride (table salt).
What do all the compounds that end in chloride have in common?
Compounds that end in chloride all contain the chloride ion (Cl-) which is a negatively charged ion formed from the element chlorine. Chloride ions are often found in ionic compounds where they bond with positively charged ions to form a stable compound.
Is chlorine acidic?
Chlorine is neither organic nor an acid. Chlorine is an element consisting of only chlorine atoms. All acids are compounds. An organic substance is a compound that contains the elements carbon and hydrogen bonded together.
Is oxygen gas a element or compounds?
oxygen gas is an element, it just travels around as O2. like chlorine (Cl2).
What are compounds containing halogens called?
Compounds containing halogens are called halides. These compounds are formed when a halogen element (such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) reacts with another element to form a chemical bond.
What is more reactive silicon or chlorine?
Chlorine is more reactive than silicon. Chlorine readily reacts with a variety of elements and compounds to form chlorides, while silicon is less reactive and forms fewer compounds with other elements.
Is clorine a covalent or ionic?
Chlorine, Cl2 is covalent. Any molecules which consist of two atoms of the same element must be covalent. In compounds with other elements chlorine can form ionic or covalent compounds.
Is hydrochloric acid a element?
No, it is a compound of the elements hydrogen and chlorine. All acids are compounds, none are elements
