S-Cl
chlorine (Cl)
p-br
the ions of Cl and Br both are negative 1. this means Cl and Br need one more electron to obtain a full shell. to complete their shells, Cl and Br form a covalent bond. also, Cl and Br are both nonmetals. 2 nonmetals cam only form a covalent bond.
clear water does not equal chlorine. a well ballanced pool with proper PH, cl2, ALCALLINITY and HARDNESS will accualy have a light blue tinge to it. a proper test kit that checks free, total and combined CL2 WOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT OVER A STRIP TEST.
There will be four peaks in the mass spectrum.
-1 for Cl and +1 for Br
