What is chlorine flamibility?

Chlorine is not flammable, as it does not support combustion. However, it can react with certain materials, such as hydrogen or other flammable substances, to form fire or explosion hazards. It is important to handle chlorine with care and follow proper safety protocols to prevent accidents.


Which gas supports combustion other than oxygen?

Other gases that can support combustion include hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. These gases can act as oxidizers in the absence of oxygen and can sustain a fire by reacting with the fuel in the combustion process.

Why only oxygen supports combustion and not hydrogen or nitrogen?

Hydrogen is not electronegative enough to act as a strong oxidizing agent, and the triple bond in the N2 molecule is difficult to break, making the gas largely inert. However, the halogens, particularly fluorine and chlorine can support redox reactions similar to combustion.
