Is chlorine found in its elemental form in nature?
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.
Is chlorine a cancer causing agent?
Chlorine elementally? No - that would almost be a contradiction of the nature of chlorine. But chlorine in combination with other elements (chlorine compounds of various types) are implicated in many kinds of cancers.
Why should you store chlorine in the cool place?
it have burning nature
What role does the element chlorine play in nature?
Chlorine is a highly reactive element and is therefore never found in nature by itself. Rather, It is found combined with other elements, such as sodium to produce sodium chloride (table salt). Organisms, especially marine ones, are the biggest producers of organohalogens, or organic compounds containing chlorine, bromine, iodine or fluorine. There are over 4,000 organohalogen substances known today. Oceans also release up to 15,000 million tons of methyl chloride into the atmosphere each year.
What is true or same about both chlorine and iodine?
Chlorine and iodine are both non-metals Neither are radioactive They are both made in nature
Even though human civilization is responsible for less than 1 percent of all chlorine in the atmosphere it is responsible for 80 percent of all ozone destroying chlorine. Why?
Nature's contributions are usually singly substituted organics, which are easy to wash out of the atmosphere. Man's contributions were designed to be non-flammable, so they can be vented to the atmosphere without fear of blowing things up. Unfortunately, the intense energy that the ozone layer protects us from, also removes the chlorine / bromine from the molecules in the ozone layer... where the damage can be magnified...
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 found in its elemental form in nature?
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.
Why chlorine has atomic weight 35.5 though no chlorine with mass exist in nature?
The atomic weight (not mass) of chlorine is now [35,446; 35,457]. I don't understand "no chlorine with mass exist in nature".
Is chlorine synthetic not found in nature or found in nature?
Not found!
Where in nature does ozone take place?
The ozone takes place in atmosphere in nature. The atmosphere has the maximum ozone.
What is the name for chlorine?
IUPAC naming only applies to compounds. The IUPAC name for chlorine is chlorine. In nature chlorine exists as a diatomic compound Cl2 called dichlorine.
Where is chlorine found in nature and what form is it.?
I have no clue I was asking you.
Are volcanic eruptions an important cause of ozone?
No, ozone is destroyed by a runaway autocatalytic reaction with chlorine transported to the upper atmosphere by chlorofluorocarbons (man made compounds that do not exist in nature). One chlorine atom can destroy several tens of thousands of ozone molecules before it is neutralized. Volcanoes do not emit chlorofluorocarbons nor can they inject chlorine into the ozone layer.
What in cl2 on the preiodic table?
Chlorine belongs to halogen family. chlorine exists as diatomic molecule in nature.
