What is the chemical composition of chlorine?

Answer 1

Chlorine reacts with nearly all of the elements. Chlorine compounds are used as bleaching agents by the textile and paper industries.In addittion,chlorine is diatomic and thus forms molecules.It is the only acidic gas with a pale green color.It turns damp blue litmus red and bleaches it white.Chlorine is an oxidising agent and very poisonous.it is used in the purification of water.

Answer 2

Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas which combines directly with nearly all elements. Chlorine is a respiratory irritant. The gas irritates the mucous membranes and the liquid burns the skin. As little as 3.5 ppm can be detected as an odor, and 1000 ppm is likely to be fatal after a few deep breaths. It is not found in a free state in nature, but is found commonly as NaCl (solid or seawater).

Answer 3

Chlorine is a yellowish green colored gas at room temperature. It's molar mass is 35.453g/mol. Its density is 3.2g/L at 0oC. Its melting point is -101.5oC, and its boiling point is -34.04oC. (Wikipedia)

Answer 4

The chemical composition of chlorine is Cl2, which means it consists of diatomic molecules made up of two chlorine atoms bonded together.

Answer 5

The physical properties of chlorine: greenish, yellow color; it's a respiratory irritant, its odor.

Answer 6

It will form a bond with another atom, involving (usually) one electron.

Answer 7

A greenish yellow gas which combines directly with nearly all elements.

Answer 8

Chlorine is a gas at room temperature because of the weak Van Der Waal's forces that occur between molecules of Cl2.

Answer 9

Its greenish- yellow

Answer 10

Chlorine is an element.
