It is a photochemical reaction; the diatomic molecule of chlorine is photochemically (under the action of photons) dissociated in chlorine radicals. Chlorine radicals react with the diatomic molecule of hydrogen to form hydrogen chloride (HCl).
A radical chain reaction was initiated and is continued.

What has 18 neutrons and combines with one hydrogen atom to make a stomach acid?
The element chlorine with 17 protons and 18 neutrons). It combines with hydrogen to from HCl or hydrochloric acid.
What is it called when hydrogen combines with hydrogen?
Double Hydrogen
What are the products of electrolysis brine solution?
Iron hydroxide (Fe(OH)2), Chlorine and Hydrogen.
What is the lowest whole number of mass ratio of copper that combines with a given mass of chlorine?
The compound of copper and chlorine with the lowest atomic ratio of copper to chlorine is CuCl2.
Explain why chlorine gas is collected at a slower rate than hydrogen?
Because the weight / density of chlorine is more than hydrogen. Hence the rate of displacement will be less than that of hydrogen.
What has 18 neutrons and combines with one hydrogen atom to make a stomach acid?
The element chlorine with 17 protons and 18 neutrons). It combines with hydrogen to from HCl or hydrochloric acid.
What happens when all 3 isotopes of hydrogen react with chlorine in sunlight?
It forms hydrogen chloride
What happens when Hydrogen and chlorine react in direct sunlight?
HCl is formed
What gas can explode?
Flourine (with hydrogen, even in the cold and dark), also Chlorine (when exposed to sunlight with hydrogen)
What element combines with chlorine?
Calcium, sodium and hydrogen to name a few.
How do hydrogen and chloride react to form hydrogen chloride?
Under diffused sunlight, hydrogen gas and chlorine gas directly combine to form hydrogen chloride. Under direct sunlight the same reaction is explosive. It is not usually formed by its ions.
What happens when chlorine is exposed to sunlight?
Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in swimming pools?Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.
What combines easily with hydrogen ions?
Bases combines easily with hydrogen atoms
What is it called when hydrogen combines with hydrogen?
Double Hydrogen
Hydrogen oxygen and chlorine are?
Hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine are elements.
Why does hydrogen lose its combustibility after it combines with oxygen?
Why dose hydrogen lose its combustibility after it combines with oxygen
What is the electron dot formula for the molecule formed when hydrogen combines with chlorine?
We can logically walk through this. Hydrogen has 1 proton, and 1 electron. Chlorine has 17. If these were to combine stably, Argon would be made. Argon is a noble gas and therefore has 8 full valence electron slots.
