I think it is found in seawater or salted water. It is not naturally in swimming pool water so it must be somehow injected/put into that type of water. Chlorine is always found in components. It can be found in salt, seas and salty leaves. It is mostly manufactured in America.

∙ 15y agoChloride is the ionized form or chlorine. It's a chlorine ion, or an atom of chlorine that has borrowed an electron from another atom and is hanging around in ionic form, probably in solution like it does in salt water. The chlorine ion, which we use Cl- to represent, has dissociated from the atom to which it was ionically bonded and stolen away the donor atom's electron. It table salt, which is sodium chloride, or NaCl, the molecule will dissociate when it gets into water, and the sodium ion (Na+) and the chloride ion (Cl-) will split up and wander around in the solution.

In elemental form maybe but it is very reactive so is "found" mostly in compounds such as common salt (sodium chloride), and the active ingredient in bleach and disinfectant for small swimming-pools(calcium hypochlorite, becoming what is known as a "chlorine donor" in its action).
Chlorine gas is used in commercial swimming-pool disinfection and in purifying mains water supplies; but it is very toxic and corrosive so requires special plant and precautions to handle it.

How is chlorine commonly found in nature?
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.
Is chlorine found in nature or man made?
Chlorine is commonly found in nature, seeing as it is a critical component of table salt, NaCl. It is also often found in our atmosphere in the form of CFC's. However, diatomic chlorine gas, Cl2 is not too abundant, because it is highly reactive.
Is chlorine from the periodic table found in a pool?
In small quantities. "Chlorine" for pools is actually a chlorine-containing compound, not pure elemental chlorine. Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) is one such compound.
Why are there two chlorine atoms for every one atom of magnesium?
In magnesium chloride, MgCl2, there are two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom as chlorine is found as a compound.
What color does chlorine burn?
No color. When burning chlorine, the flame gains no additional color from the chlorine. Examples of this may be found by burning Aluminum chloride or Magnesium chloride, both of which burn colorless. This means that Chlorine contributes no color to the flame.
How found chlorine?
chlorine is in mabe bleach

Is chlorine synthetic not found in nature or found in nature?
Not found!
When was chlorine found?
in 1823
How is chlorine used?
it hasn't been found chlorine is used in pools to disinfect them.
Is chlorine found in any common materials?
Bleach contains Chlorine, generally.
What atoms are in chlorine?
Chlorine is an elemental gas. The only atoms in chlorine are CHLORINE. A molecule of chlorine contains two atoms of chlorine (Cl2 ; Cl - Cl) Chlorine is found in the Periodic Table.
What year was chlorine found?
1774
Is chlorine found in ores?
yes:)
What types of compounds chlorine is found in?
Chlorine can be found in either ionic compounds such as sodium chloride or in covalent compounds such as hydrochloric acid.
