What atom would be created if chlorine fused with helium?

Helium is an inert gas meaning that it will not combine with other elements or compounds. More specifically, chlorine will not bond with helium. But, if it did, as could happen in a supernova explosion, since chlorine is 17 on the periodic chart, and helium is 2, when they fuse they would create an atom of potassium which is 19.


What would happen if we didn't have chlorine?

If we didn't have chlorine, we would lose an effective disinfectant commonly used to treat water and swimming pools. This could result in an increase in waterborne diseases and a higher risk of infection from bacteria and other pathogens in drinking water.


Why was chlorine gas invented?

Chlorine gas was not invented; it occurs naturally in small amounts. However, it gained notoriety during World War I when it was weaponized for chemical warfare due to its toxic properties and ability to cause respiratory distress and death in high concentrations.


What would happen if we didn't have chlorine in the body?

Without chlorine in the body, essential physiological functions such as maintaining proper balance of bodily fluids, aiding digestion, and supporting nerve function would be disrupted. Chlorine also plays a role in keeping the immune system healthy, so its absence could weaken our defense against infections and diseases.


What would happen if 1 ion of chlorine combined with 1 ion of sodium?

When 1 ion of chlorine combines with 1 ion of sodium, they form a molecule of sodium chloride (table salt). The chlorine ion gains an electron from the sodium ion, creating a stable compound with a balanced charge.
