This is a hard question to answer, since the whole evolutionary scheme started with life in salt water. There would have to be some replacement cation, and life would have had to develop based on balancing the water inside plant systems with sea water. SOMETHING would have to replace it, and what would have happened with the replacement is difficult to assess in this short session.

With chlorine, we would have to develop a whole different line of insecticides, since they contain chlorine. We would have to develop different snow removing chemicals, since they are based on chlorine. Water purification would have to be modified, but there is sufficient research on chlorine substitutes that replacements could be employed. Of course, to use them at the amounts employed for chlorine may be a problem, since chlorine is so plentiful and relatively cheap.

Can Chlorine oxidation number ever be negative two?

No, that is not possible for Chlorine. Some elements have more than one oxidation number, such as Iron, Mercury, Copper, etc, but Chlorine only wants to gain one electron. If it had a -2 charge, it would not be stable, so that would never happen.

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 during a tug of war between sodium and chlorine over eachs outer electrons?

Sodium would lose one electron and chlorine would gain one electron. End of contest. Sodim is oxidised, chlorine is reduced.
