Chlorine gas is the product of some chemical reactions, but the pure element is EXTREMELY reactive and is rarely found in nature.

Chlorine is common in compounds such as sodium chloride (ordinary table salt).

Is chlorine found in nature or man made?

Chlorine is commonly found in nature, seeing as it is a critical component of table salt, NaCl. It is also often found in our atmosphere in the form of CFC's. However, diatomic chlorine gas, Cl2 is not too abundant, because it is highly reactive.


Where to found chlorine in nature?

Chlorine is not typically found in its elemental form in nature. It is most commonly found in compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt) and in minerals like halite. Chlorine gas can also be produced from saltwater through a process called electrolysis.


How is chlorine commonly found in nature?

Chlorine is not found in its elemental form as chlorine gas, being a halogen, is highly reactive. The most common compound of chlorine is sodium chloride or common salt. This can be found dissolved in sea water.

Is sodium and chlorine a pair of isotopes?

Sodium and chlorine are elements. If you mean one sodium atom and one chlorine atom yes they would be both isotopes but of different elemnts. If they were randomly sampled from nature the sodium atom would almost certainly be sodium-23 (there is only a trace of sodium-22 found in nature) and the chlorine atom would most likely be chlorine-35 as this isotope is about 75% of chlorine)


Is chlorine naturally occurring?

Under standard temperature and pressure, elemental fluorine is a yellowish gas. However, fluorine is exceedingly reactive, and thus in nature it is always found bound to other elements, commonly in salts as the fluoride ion (F-).
