Chlorine is a poisonous, yellowish-green gas with a strong unpleasant odor. Chlorine is used in a liquid form, and has no actual shape.
Some of the uses from chlorine compounds would include:
To kill bacteria in water, to make it safe for drinking or safe for swimming pools.
Produce paper, plastics, insecticides, cleaning fluids, and antifreeze.
Also, the manufacture of medicines, paints, and petroleum products.

∙ 13y agoThere are more than one molecules which contain carbon and chlorine, but the simplest case is carbon tetrachloride, CCl4. In this molecule, the carbon atom is in the center and the four chlorine atoms are arranged evenly around it, in the corners of square. It is a perfectly symmetrical molecule.

What is the formula for carbon and chlorine?
the chemical formula for carbon is C and for chlorine is Cl.
Which chemical bond in the molecule of chloromethane is more polar the carbon-chlorine or carbon-hydrogen bond?
The chemical bond between carbon-chlorine has an electronegativity difference of 0.61. The bond between carbon-hydrogen has a difference of 0.35, thus is less polar than the carbon-chlorine bond.
How many atoms are in C6H4Cl2?
1 carbon and 4 chlorine
Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of the carbon tetraiodide molecule CI4?
Tetrahedral.
What is the chemical formula for carbon and chlorine?

What shape represents a glucose molecule?
The shape that represents a glucose molecule is a hexagon with a carbon coming off the upper carbon
How many atoms are there in three carbon tetrachloride molecules?
5, one carbon & four chlorine. The prefix tetra- means four, and thus there are four chlorine atoms in a molecule of carbon tetrachloride.
What is the molecular shape around the central atom in CF2Cl2?
The molecule that you describe, which would more accurately be written as CCl2F2 is the same shape as a methane molecule; the carbon is in the center, and it is surrounded by a symmetrical arrangement of two chlorine and two fluorine atoms, which are at the points of a tetrahedron.
What elements make up chloroform?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Chlorine. The Chloroform molecule is CHCl3 . Its modern IUPAC name is 'Trichloromethane'.
How many atoms r chlorine are in the carbon tetrachloride molecule?
If you know your Classics (Latin), the name gives the clue . 'Tetra' means four(4). So carbon tetrachloride is has four chlorine atoms. Its modern IUPAC name is 'Tetrachlormethane'. It has the formula 'CCl4'.

A H2O molecule is bent and a CCl4 is tetrahedral.
The shape of the carbon dioxide molecule is called?
linear
Which chemical bond in the molecule of chloromethane is more polar the carbon-chlorine or carbon-hydrogen bond?
The chemical bond between carbon-chlorine has an electronegativity difference of 0.61. The bond between carbon-hydrogen has a difference of 0.35, thus is less polar than the carbon-chlorine bond.
