What is the chemical equation for silicon atom and chlorine molecule?
Si + 2Cl2 ----> SiCl4
How is the atmosphere damaged by air pollution?
Pollution can affect the atmosphere, more specifically the Ozone layer, because CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) and other chemicals react with the Ozone (O3) and turn into Chlorine monoxide (ClO) and an oxygen molecule (O2) which then starts the deterioration of the Ozone layer. Chlorine monoxide then reacts with an oxygen atom (O) and create a chlorine atom and an oxygen molecule (O2). The chlorine atom can then react with another Ozone molecule (O3) to form Chlorine monoxide (ClO) and an Oxygen molecule (O2) and the cycle continues.
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
What happens if chloroflorocarbon increases in the ozonelayer?
the uv rays will hit the cfc molecule and chlorine atom breaks awaythe chlorine atom hits the ozone molecule and forms a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of chlorine monoxide.an oxygen atom hits the chlorine monoxide and forms a molecule of oxygen leaving the chlorine atom.now the chlorine atom is free to its depletion.one chlorine atom is good enough to dameage millions of ozone.
What is the difference between a chlorine atom and a chlorine molecule?
A chlorine molecule consists of two chlorine atoms bound together by a covalent bond. The symbol of a chlorine molecule is Cl2.
Is chlorine an atom or a or a molecule?
It is a diatomic molecule, i.e. it exists as Cl2
How much chlorine is in NaCl?

A molecule. One molecule of salt consists of one atom each of Sodium and Chlorine.
What atom of the CFC molecule damages the ozone?
Mainly Chlorine
What bond is formed when a chlorine atom comes in contact with another chlorine atom?
A nonpolar covalent bond forms when two chlorine atoms combine to form a chlorine (Cl2) molecule.
What is the formula for the chlorine sulfur hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide?
Chlorine atom - Cl Chlorine molecule - Cl2 since chlorine is a diatomic gas Sulfur atom - S Sulfur molecule - S8 Hydrogen chloride - HCl Hydrogen sulfide - H2S
What is the chemically make-up of salt?
A salt molecule has one sodium atom and one chlorine atom, NaCl.
What do you get when you combine1 hydrogen atom with one chlorine atom?
One molecule of a compound of hydrogen and chlorine that is called hydrogen chloride and has the formula HCl.
